Fresh Friday: California cherry season arrives at local fruit stands

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- California cherries are now in season, appearing at local fruit stands across Central California.

The fruit is grown throughout the state and is popular with consumers for its flavor and limited seasonal availability.

Fresno County is part of a broader region that produces cherries during a short harvest window.

The season follows recent rain and hail, which raised questions about possible impacts to crops.

Fresno County Farm Bureau CEO Ryan Jacobsen discussed local cherry production, weather concerns and storage tips during an interview with Action News.
