Cherry Harvesting

Cherry harvesting is the process of collecting ripe cherries from the trees. Workers typically use ladders, poles, or mechanical pickers to carefully pluck the fruit to avoid damage. Timing is crucial, as cherries are harvested when fully ripe to ensure quality and flavor. The process involves identifying ripe cherries, gently detaching them from the branches, and then sorting and packing them for market or processing. Efficient harvesting requires coordination to prevent fruit spoilage, especially since cherries are delicate and tend to perish quickly once picked. Proper handling maintains their freshness and ensures a good crop yield.
