How often can i pick my fruit when it's ready?

Once the cherries are ripe you will have about 10 days to pick your cherries before they are over ripe. This is because the cherries develop at different stages across the tree so not all of the cherries will be totally ripe in one go.
Therefore, if convenient, you can come and pick your cherries more than once to increase the amount of time you'll have fresh cherries and to ensure that you get to enjoy all your cherries at optimum ripeness.
