California stone fruit will also see late start
Like many commodities out of California this spring, stone fruit will also see a later start to the season next month. “The crop is really late--definitely two weeks later than last year,” says Jon McClarty of HMC Farms. “We grow everything around the heart of the stone fruit production area near Fresno County so it will be the middle to late May when we get started.”
