Where can I get the fruit?
Cornelian cherries grow as wild fruit in sunny places on forest edges and in parks. The fruit ripens at the end of summer and in the fall.
You can also plant the shrub yourself in your garden. You can buy them in pots online, for example.
Harvest cornelian cherries as soon as they have turned a dark red color. Then they are ripe enough and fall off the shrub themselves. You can simply collect them from the ground.
Alternatively, you can pick light red to red fruits from the tree and leave them to ripen at home. To do this, spread them out on a baking tray and place them in a dark place at room temperature for a few days. As cornelian cherries do not all ripen at once, you should gradually sort out and process the fruits that have already turned dark red.
