Meena Farms Crop Update

Last Updated 3/13/2020

2020 Started wet and foggy in January but turned dry with California having one of the driest February's on record. If conditions do not change we will likely see some water challenges in the southern districts for 2020 orchards. Although bees were a challenge for many early cherry growers we are forecasting extremely good production potential with a strong bloom and good bee activity during pollination. Forecasts call for seasonably warm conditions during the early to mid bloom and turning wet for the late bloom. We welcome the wet weather to spare California of its water issues but wish it away once we come to harvest! We are excited of the crop potential at Meena Farms for 2020. We will keep you posted of all stages of growth...

Dormancy

Orchards in dormant stage just before bloom period. Well kept Meena Farms orchards promote uniform bloom time as well as lower pest pressure. Every orchard is given the care and attention needed to produce a quality crop.

Bloom

Bloom is here!
Having a record long dry period and unseasonably warm temperatures we have seen bloom come early in many of our orchards. In some cases we have seen bloom occurring with almond bloom. This has rarely been seen. What does this mean? We are forecasting harvest to be early in California and expect to be picking cherries late April.

Petal Fall / Fruit Set

Analyzing the crop. Following the bloom the crop is closely monitored although this is our first look at actual cherries mother nature will do her best to claim her share. We now tighten our estimates with every progressing stage.
