All eyes are on the weather as Washington makes its way towards the upcoming cherry season.
“We’re in the bloom season right now and so far, it’s a trying time,” says Dan Davis with Starr Ranch Growers based in Wenatchee, Washington. “We’ve had a lot of freezing temperatures and a host of cold weather issues. Hopefully we’re coming out of that weather and we’ll see where we stand over the next couple of weeks.”
Generally, the Washington cherry season begins in the last few days of May or early days in June and goes until August 20-25th.
For Starr Ranch Growers, Davis says there has been a lot of transitioning of varieties over the last several seasons. “So we’ve been moving to varieties that grow higher yields and are more rain resistant,” he says. “It’s transitioning away from the historical Bing variety and towards other varieties that are far more prosperous.”
