The president of Cherry Growers Australia, Alison Jones, shared with ABC Rural that this season's conditions have been much more favorable, with a warm climate and excellent production resulting in high-quality fruit.

"All of our growers are really optimistic because we’ve had a good season with the weather and production, which means plenty of quality fruit ahead of Christmas," said Alison.

Excitement is already growing among customers eager for the first cherries of the season!
