Cherry Season Has Officially Started For Domex Superfresh Growers®
YAKIMA, WA - Domex Superfresh Growers® cherry season has started, and harvesting in early districts in Central Washington will begin this week.
Spring has been kind to the Superfresh orchards and fruit quality is good. According to a press release, warmer spring temperatures prevented frost, which created good quality, size, and shape for the Northwest cherry crop. Two-Bite Cherries™ are returning this season, showcasing the largest and juiciest cherries on the tree.
“The air is fresh, clean, and clear," commented Dave Gleason, Chief Horticulturist. "This is my favorite time to be out around the trees; it feels good. It’s a quiet time, and you can almost hear the fruit on the trees growing."

As Superfresh Growers looks ahead to the fall harvest, it noted that an excellent looking crop is underway. Due to pruning and good orchard practices, along with the warmer spring, Superfresh Growers expects larger sized apples than last year. It will be a great crop for bulk promotions. The earlier apple and pear varieties will begin harvest in August.
In addition to apples, apricots are not far off from harvest, with expectations to start harvesting in mid-June.
