| | | | | |  | | | | | You might be thinking that all is quiet in the orchards this time of year—but that couldn't be further from the truth. Our dedicated teams are hard at work pruning roughly 10,000 trees every day, helping to create space between each of the branches. This work is vital for helping our fruit thrive when growing season comes along, ensuring each pear receives ample amounts of nourishing light. Our crews will prune until about mid-March, just before the first blooms of spring start to appear.
So for now, let's talk about one of the most delicious winter fruits you'll ever have the pleasure of tasting—the bold and flavorful HoneyBell. Longtime fans of Harry & David know all about this exceptional citrus and eagerly await its return every year. A cross between a Dancy tangerine and a Duncan grapefruit, they're particularly sweet and extra juicy.
The earliest shipments of HoneyBells come from Florida—but since these fruits are available for such a small window of time, we work with growers in California's Central Valley to offer equally delicious Western HoneyBells a little later into the winter months. I encourage you to get your share of this unique citrus before the season is over and try them out for yourself. | | | | | | Matt Borman,
