I don't even get to eat it. I guess Salem Dark doesn't handle rain well. We've had at least 3 inches in the last 3 weeks, and ... you see the result. The other fruit this 5' tall, 1" caliper tree had fell off last week prematurely.
I also note that Salem Dark fruit appears to be heavily impacted by FMV (or whatever the hell virus cocktail my trees may have), the fruit has a lot of scarring and brown marks, something that Marseilles Black VS and Sal (Gene's) have a problem with (strange, Sal Corleone has none of these viral/fruit problems, but is supposedly inferior in taste)
Maybe I'll get lucky on the main crop?
