Bloom and fruit set were about average, with berry size also average. No unusual problems were reported. Crop prospects are poor. Oregon's cranberry crop suffered hail damage to blooms in late-March and April, and pollination was poor. Early season weather prompted below average fruit set.
Development is behind normal and insect pressure is significant.
Generally the crop looks good. Western Washington state had another mild winter and little to no frost damage. Cold, wet conditions in early spring caused a late bloom with blooms still on some bogs in late-July. Berry size is average, with some reports of small fruit. Black vine weevil problems continue to plague growers, with some entire bogs lost.
