WOW!!! For all these years these have gone to waste and then.... GREAT pie! Unbelieveable, those stems just disappear. One would not believe that they were left on! As far as harvesting the fruit, I simply spread a couple of sheets on the ground and shook the branches. That may account for the stems "disappearing", in that ONLY the ripe seeds fall from the tree! Great PIE! Served with ice cream, WOW!
