Half a kilogram of cherries was sold for 10 thousand dollars in Japan. The package contained the fruits of a new crop. Satonishiki cherry gives the earliest harvest. An incredibly high price is due to its growing technology. Trees grow in special places. From June to early October, they are placed in the refrigerator, then transferred to a greenhouse, where the temperature is 25 degrees during the day and 13 at night.
This variety of cheery known for its aroma is grown in Yamagata Prefecture, Tendo. It is where the first crop is harvested in Japan.
Yamagata Prefecture accounts for 75% of cherry production. The fruit is harvested here from late spring through summer.
