February is National Cherry Month, and we're "cherry" excited to celebrate! 🙌🏼 🍒

While these scrumptious little fruits aren't here yet, the month of February is when we like to celebrate the upcoming crop of big, juicy cherries to come! 😍 🌸

🚨 Update: The trees are resting in dormancy soaking up all the nutrients from compost now, but will start to release their first blooms in April! 🌸🌞

In general, cherry bloom moves from south to north latitudes due to warmer weather and the location’s proximity to the equator. 🌎 The cherry variety (dark sweet, rainier,) also determines bloom with early, mid, and late varieties all part of the picture. ⏲️

While the trees are storing up their energy for the summer crop, let's celebrate National Cherry Month this February using #NationalCherryMonth on social media to share excitement for the new cherry crop in 2023! 🍒 🥳

Gather 'round for a crash course about Cosmic Crisp® apples! 🤓🍎

From the tree to your hands, you'll find Cosmic Crisp® apples to be crunchy, crispy, and captivatingly colorful 🍎

📜 History: 20 years ago, Dr. Bruce Dr. Bruce Barritt and his team developed Cosmic Crisp® in Washington State University's world-class tree fruit breeding program.

👫🏼 Parentage: Cosmic Crisp's® parents, the Honeycrisp & Enterprise apple, give it that satisfying crunch we crave when taking the first bite! 👌🏼 These strong genetics make Cosmic Crisp® very resistant to browning, and will last you a long time in the fridge!

📛 The Name: Did you know, Cosmic Crisp® got it's name because of it's starburst like lenticels? First, what's a lenticel? 🤔 These are the tiny "dots" on an apple's exterior which are actually small natural openings in the cuticle (or skin) of the apples. Lenticels allow the apple to "breath" in oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapor like other living plants. Pretty neat, huh! 😄

😋 Snack Time: Next time you crunch into a Cosmic Crisp®, try it with peanut butter, in your next charcuterie board, or fresh from the fridge to truly enjoy its sweetness and versatility! 😋 🍎
