We are fortunate to have a lot of neighborhoods here in Fargo with streets lined with 25-30 year old Canada Red chokecherry trees. They ripen a little bit later than the green leaved varieties. They also have less astringency and more sugar. This year the trees are just loaded! In the last two days I picked 70 pounds from just three trees and I could only reach half way into the trees from my ladder. I was pulling them off in fistfuls.
