One farmer said the"prolonged sunshine, extra daylight, and very little rain" has led to a growth spurt in juicy strawberries and cherries.Farmers are selling strawberries and cherries at a reduced price after the heatwave left them with a glut of"perfectly healthy, extra sweet" crops.
The extra sunshine led to a growth spurt for both fruits across the country including in Kent, Norfolk, Lancashire, Scotland and Herefordshire. Alastair Brooks, managing director of Langdon Manor Farm near Faversham, Kent, said the weather during the spring through to the heatwave had provided perfect growing conditions.
He said:"Following a mild, settled spring, we have experienced prolonged sunshine, extra daylight, and very little rain in the last few weeks. "This has resulted in an abundance of healthy, perfectly ripe, extra sweet strawberries. After a wet jubilee weekend, we are excited to be able to finally celebrate the British strawberry season."Tesco is now selling 1kg boxes for £4 at more than 750 stores, while kilo boxes of cherries will be sold for £5 at 850 Tesco stores.More on Heatwave
