Description
Cedar Bay cherries are small, rounded fruits measuring about 2 to 2.5 centimeters in diameter. They have a circular to slightly ovate shape and a rounded bottom. Their skin starts off green and ripens to a vibrant pomegranate-red, attached to a long green stem. This thin, shiny skin is somewhat transparent, with patches of lighter red and faint white dots spread across its surface. When peeled, the bright yellow-orange, succulent flesh, similar to that of a nectarine, is revealed. This soft, juicy flesh is slightly pulpy and stringy, surrounding a beige-colored, hard pit that takes up much of the interior. Cedar Bay cherries have a sweet flavor, with notes of berry and grape.
