BC Tree Fruits announced earlier this year that a larger than average crop of cherries were estimated for the season. Hank Markgraf, BC Tree Fruits Senior Field Adviser attributes the anticipated large crop to favorable weather. “A mild winter and an early and hot spring led to our cherry trees blooming three to five days ahead of last year,” said Markgraf.
