When is the best time to prune a Nanking cherry?
Shortly after harvesting the fruit, assuming your shrub is fruiting. Otherwise, depending on your climates, some time in mid summer should suffice. The goal to pruning is to thin out the middle of the tree AFTER fruiting has occured, and BEFORE new growth has filled in and started to form buds for next year's flowers. If you prune in fall, there is a solid chance that you will remove branches covered in buds that would've otherwise flowered and fruited next year. If you prune in winter or spring, the same dangers are present. When pruning, try not to remove more than 30% of the plant to prevent damage. You may want to coat the exposed cuts with a paste used specifically to treat cuts in order to prevent infection.
How can I ripen store bought cherries?
There seem to be two streams of thought on whether or not cherries will ripen after picking - either that they will not ripen any more or that they will ripen some. The difference could have something to do with the cherry variety, growing conditions, how 'green' they were when picked, or even post-harvest handling - things not under your control with store-bought fruit.
If you care to side with the premise that the cherries can be ripened, try treating them similarly to other stone fruit:
- Tray method: Arrange unripe cherries in single layer on tray. Place tray in cool (not cold) spot out of direct sunlight for a couple days. I'd check their progress several times a day.
- Bag method: Put unripe cherries in a paper bag with a ripe banana. Place bag in cool (not cold) spot out of direct sunlight for a couple days. I'd check their progress several times a day.
Cherries are a good source of fiber per serving amount and can prevent diarrhea and constipation. However eating too many cherries can trigger these conditions.
What is the difference between dole bananas and chiquita bananas?
1st answer: Absolutely Nothing. It's just a name.
2nd answer: None. It is just the name of the company that processed the banana.
3rd answer: This is just anecdotal, of course; and it may sound crazy, but in my personal experience (and that's partly what makes it anecdotal) there might actually be some kind of small difference. My wife thought there was no difference, either, and so was buying DOLE brand for years from the local Safeway store, even though I've always told her that, crazy as it may sound, it seemed that Chiquitas were better. Then, after about the 50th time over the years that I complained to her that the Dole bananas were kind of... well... "wet," is the best word I can think of to describe them... sort of almost-slimy under the skin... about the 50th time over the years that I complained to her about that, I asked her if Chiquita-brand was available, and she said not from the Safeway, but that it was from another store she frequented. I asked her to give the Chiquitas a try; that those were what I grew-up eating back in Chicago all my life, and that they were somehow better. She insisted that I was crazy; that there was no difference, but I talked her into at least trying. For over a year, now, we've gotten nothing but Chiquitas, and the other day she remarked, out of the blue, that I was right; that the Chiquitas were somehow more dry; never slimy or "wet" under the skin like the occasional Dole bunch that we used to get. She also remarked that the Chiquitas are sweeter when they're still kinda' green, whereas the Doles, she said, always taste more bland until they yellow-up. I would have laughed at her for that observation except that it's precisely what I noticed about Chiquita versus Dole over twenty years ago. And, trust me, I never shared the whole sweeter-when-still-green thing with her prior to that moment; so she came-up with that one entirely on her own. So, my overarching point is that maybe -- and I stress that word, because I don't know, for sure, nor can prove it... but I'm suggesting that maybe -- Dole bananas and Chiquita bananas are an ever-so-slightly different type or variety or something; that there's maybe some kind of extremely minor difference between them which only a scientist or otherwise expert in varieties of bananas could explain. Or maybe it's because they're harvested differently or something. Who knows. Like I said, it's entirely anectodal; but I'll go to my grave believing that there's at least SOME kind of difference -- whatever it is -- which makes the Chiquitas more generally "dry" than the Doles. Like I said, I know it sounds crazy, but I can definitely discern at least those two very minor differences. I really can.
4th Answer: I just had to post here to comment about the Chiquita vs Dole bananas. In my experience, the Chiquitas are much tastier bananas, though the Dole bananas seem to be bigger. I would much prefer Chiquita, but it seems stores sell either and only one or the other. Perhaps it's the fertilizer or country the bananas are grown in because I thought all bananas are Cavendish bananas. All I know is, Chiquita bananas are better than Dole. (03/07/2012)

- gentisic
- D-glucaric
- ellagic

Plus phenolic/hydroxycinnamic acids (3 different types)
(i) chlorogenic(ii) neochlorogenic (3'-caffeoylquinic)(iii) 3'-p-coumaroylquinic
NOTE: Not ALL cherries have ALL of these acids present. And sour cherries have more acid content than sweet cherries.
How much does a pint of cherry tomatoes weigh?
Due to the varying levels of water concentration in your fruit, it's nearly impossible to tell how much it would weigh, exactly. A pint of 3-5cm cherry tomatos can weigh between 10 oz for a lower density, and 16 oz for a higher density.

Yes you can, and no it is not toxic. Cherry pits are just a cherries bigger version of an apple seed. They are digested the same way everything else you swallow is digested. Remember, our stomach acid is strong enough to corrode plastic - of course it is going to be strong enough to digest a cherry stone.
The only reason swallowing cherry pits could potentially harm you is if you are either allergic to them in any way OR you eat excessive amounts of them (excessive being a heck of a lot).
[ I swallow cherry pits AND chewing gum all the time and I am FINE. So either I'm Superwoman or everyone else is wrong. ]
Do you have to wash cherries before you eat them?
You should always wash fruits and vegetables before eating them.
Any fruit could cause gas, since they all contain types of sugar. If you get too much sugar in your diet, the excess sugar can pass, undigested, to your large intestine, where bacteria can turn it into flatulence.
What happens if you eat too many cherries?
If you eat too many cherries you can have a stomach ache. Former President Zachary Taylor ate a substantial amount of cherries the day of his death. He is presumed to have died from a foodborne illness that lasted 5 days.
Most likely you'll just have diarrhea - cherries contain a lot of fiber and cellulose.

What Happened To Royal Crown Sour Cherry Candy?
Do you mean Regal Crown Sour Cherries? I remember them from the 60's and early 70's. They came in a roll and were individually wrapped in waxed paper. My family used to travel from Southeast Michigan to Cleveland to visit my grandmother on the Ohio Turnpike, and always stopped at the rest stop half way, where my Dad would buy a roll for each of us. They were to die for, and that is the only place I ever remember seeing them. It made the 3-1/2 hour trip worthwhile! I have tried finding them and an internet search indicates that they are no longer made.
It's a Japanese flowering cherry tree. Washington DC is famous for them.
What are the uses of cherry radish?
Relative to their serving size, radishes are rich in ascorbic acid, folic acid, and potassium. Relative to their caloric value, they are a good source of vitamin B6, riboflavin, magnesium, copper, and calcium. One cup of sliced red radish bulbs provides approximately 20 Calories or less, coming largely from carbohydrates, making radishes, relative to their size, a very filling food for their caloric value1. The most popular part for eating is the napiform taproot, although the entire plant is edible and the tops can be used as a leaf vegetable. The skin comes in a variety of colours. Most commonly known is the round, red-skinned variety but other varieties may have a pink, white or gray-black skin, and there is a yellow-skinned variety. The bulb of the radish is usually eaten raw, but tougher specimens can be steamed. The raw flesh has a crisp texture and a pungent, peppery flavor, caused by chewing glucosinolates and the enzyme myrosinase in the radish, that, when brought together form allyl isothiocyanates , also present in mustard, horseradish and wasabi.1 Radishes are suggested as an alternative treatment for a variety of ailments including whooping cough, cancer, coughs, gastric discomfort, liver problems, constipation, dyspepsia, gallbladder problems, arthritis, gallstones, kidney stones and intestinal parasites.1 The seeds of the Raphanus sativus species can be pressed to extract seed oil. Wild radish seeds contain up to 48% oil content, and while not suitable for human consumption the oil has promise as a source of biofuel. The oilseed radish grows well in cool climates.1

What is the shelf life of canned fruits and vegetables?
The date on the can is for best flavor and is a manufacture's suggestion. commercially canned goods will last for 100 years and not go bad.

The conquest of Serbia came with the conquest of Illyricum, which included the former Yugoslavia and Albania.This was due in great part due to the strategic importance of Dalmatia, which covered the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea. There had been problems with pirates form Illyricum. The conquest gave control to the whole of this sea and the ports along the eastern coast. Dalmatia also had gold mines.
Most of Serbia came under the province of Pannonia, which included northern Croatia western Hungary and eastern Austria. This region was important for control over the river Danube and its trade.
