Cherry Fruit School Kicks Off Tuesday

The 2019 Cherry Fruit School will take place Tuesday and Wednesday across the Northwest, and into southern British Columbia.  The two day event is an opportunity for researchers to share updates and make production recommendations.  The event hosted by Washington State University and Oregon State University will take place.

• The Confluence and Technology Center in Wenatchee
• The Walter Clore Wine and Culinary Center in Prosser
• The Discovery Center at The Dalles
• The Landmark Cinemas in West Kelowna, British Columbia.

Presentations cover pertinent topics from tree establishment and bud development through harvest, including physiology, breeding, nutrition, crop load and harvest economics.

“The Cherry Fruit School lets growers gain the latest information on best management practices and experiences, helping them make informed decisions for stronger, healthier orchards and better crops,” said Bernardita Sallato, WSU Tree Fruit Extension specialist and co-organizer of the event.
