Pink Cherry and the Nearly Open “Kiss Me” Stage
Newsletter dated June 22, 2020
Explore the farm’s archived pink-cherry forcing and holding practices, including shipping just before opening and an early-summer crop assortment.
Forcing early and holding late
The source describes a pink-cherry season from early February to May, extended by forcing early and holding branches cool later. Pink cuts are described as double flowering.
The “kiss me” stage
Patrick calls the nearly open stage “kiss me”: branches are shipped just before opening to help protect the flowers in transit and allow development after receipt. Timing and packing still need confirmation for the actual cut.
The June newsletter assortment
The embedded email pictured Oregon Pride hydrangea, double white lacecap, green Pistachio and bicolor white-and-blue hydrangeas, alongside blueberries and mock orange. It also recorded weddings beginning to resume. This historical email mixes a cherry explainer with a broader seasonal list.
