Where I work, we have talked about next year using fine mosquito netting on the berries and even cherries. Most of our sweet cherries are grown...
One thing I learned at the SWD workshop I attended- freezing your fruit immediately upon picking will kill eggs/first instar larvae before they...
Cherry fruit fly is also a possibility, but from what I've heard they are not as likely in sour cherries as in sweet. SWD hits both. For the...
