I picked Acerola cherries yesterday and got 640 grams (1.4 lbs). There are so many pests (birds, caterpillars, snails) that can damage the cherries; therefore, I typically pick them as soon as they start to turn red and allow them to ripen on a window seal. Additionally, Acerola falls off easily. So if there are strong winds, like we have here, it is best to pick them a little early.
