Fruit Bites June 1-3 ProGibb for Cherries Tuesday Jun 1st, 2021 BL: Welcome back to another “Fruit Bites” brought to you by Valent U.S.A. With us again is Valent’s Allison Walston. And this week Allison, we are talking about getting firmer cherries! AW: Nobody wants mushy cherries. A crisp, firm cherry can make a world of difference not only to the enjoyment of the consumer, but also to a grower. Products like ProGibb can help. BL: So in a crowded market, having firmer cherries is the end goal? AW: To have firmer cherries at harvest, apply ProGibb from translucent green to straw color. This can also increase fruit size. Maturity can be slightly delayed, which can help with harvest management.
