Carmine Jewell Cherry Yields increasing with age

I posted a picture of my Jubieum tart cherries in another thread" What's happening today - 2018 edition - #1337 by ztom
To me, they were darker in real life than what the picture shows and were 18 brix which I think is pretty high for a tart cherry. They weren’t as firm as I thought they would be based on some descriptions. They were soft, juicy and about as good as a tart cherry gets for fresh eating. I would say they were similar to Carmine Jewel but a little bit earlier, bigger and tasted maybe just a smidgeon better, but I only got a handful off of a three year old graft. My Carmines are almost ready, I’ll probably pick them in 3 or 4 days. Hope the net stays on.
