Pear psylla egg hatch has taken place, with the first instar now visible. Peaches are at the early stages of bloom, and should be at full bloom in a few days. With peaches at full bloom growers need to be concerned about brown rot control. Sweet cherries are at full bloom, and brown rot and cherry leaf spot controls need to be made fairly quickly. No plum curculio have been observed on any tree fruit yet.
Tart cherries are at early white bud.
Small fruit Strawberries have three to four leaves fully emerged and expanded, with the flower bud now emerged from the crown. This means that strawberries will be susceptible to frost and freeze injury. As we near the bloom stage the temperature at which frost and freeze injury can damage the flower buds will rise. Irrigation systems need to be in place to begin frost protection. Two spotted spider mites have been observed in strawberries.
