We are often asked why the cherry season is so short. Most cherry varieties ripen and are harvested within three to five days. On our orchards, we grow about 20 different varieties. Some ripen early and others later and this is why we can have a cherry season in Australia of about five to six weeks.
There are also slight characteristic differences between the different cherry varieties which can be colour, shape, firmness and flavour. Some of the more popular cherry varieties are Rons, Van, Lapins, Bings, Simone plus many more. As they all ripen at different stages over this period we can end up having a longer cherry season than would normally be expected if only one variety of cherries were grown.
Is this product available from supermarket shelves ?
Hi Shane – apologies in delay of response. Our harvest is getting closer and we’re back……… At this stage our supply isn’t large enough for major supermarket chains. It is available is some IGA’s and health food stores but is always available online and delivered within 5 working days to your door. Hope that helps. Beth
