Who`s bringing out those frozen cherries this weekend to make something sweet?
It is autumn here in the Pacific Northwest β the leaves are changing to beautiful colors of orange, yellow, and redπ.
The temperature has started to drop in to the 50βs and 60βs and the trees are prepping for the winter. Soon the leaves will all be falling, and the trees will be bare. They will begin their chill hours which will accumulate throughout the winter.
Cherry trees, depending on variety, need at least 700-800 hours at temperatures below 45 degrees in order to set fruit for the next seasons crop.
Enjoy this picturesque time of year! ππ
