Surinam Cherry tree's generally available in two varieties, more common red and purple or black. The red when fully ripe are very sweet, but the purple/black are even sweeter. I've had two red Surinam cherry tree's for a few years and eat so many that I get tried of them. My wife just acquired a black one with I will be planting as soon  as I figure out where to put it. At the present, we eat them out of hand, I'm told they make a nice juice or jam.
