WHAT ABOUT THAT WEATHER, EH?
"The shelf life of cherries was dramatically reduced. In many cases, fruit that looked good when packed did not have any 'legs' when it arrived at market. It was a struggle for many growers, especially in container (sea) shipping."
"The heat made employment difficult and affected production."
"Vines stopped growing and maturity advanced during the hot weather. The long growing season helped to reduce fruit acids."
"The hot dry summer put a lot of stress on the raspberry plants. It also added to mite pressure on the plants."
