President of the Cherry Marketing Institute Julie Gordon tells Brownfield swings between unusually warm, back to cold and then hot have left a lot of unknowns for this year’s production.
“It’s still unclear if there is going to be any substantial damage to our crop this year,” she says. “It looks like the sweet cherries faired a little bit better during these fluctuations in temperature than the tarts.”
She says pollination is also in question.
