Keeping a stiff upper lip, but sans cherry stains this year.
The cherries of Ulukışla district of Niğde province have long taken their
place on the table of the English royal family. But this year, because of
frost and drought, the crop has dwindled by 70%.
CHP (opposition party) Parliamentarian Ömer Fethi Gürer toured the
cherry orchards in Ulukışla, where world-famous Napoleon cherries are
grown, 80% of which are exported from Ulukışla to 12 countries, to talk
with the growers. Gürer learned that this year's frost and drought have
reduced the cherry crop by 70%.
Was known to mischievously say "Cherry-o old chap".
Gürer noted that the Ulukışla cherries have a special aroma resulting
from the 1,600-meters-above-sea-level altitude where the cherries are
grown. He added that "Ulukışla cherries even grace the tables of the
English royal family but, unfortunately, this year the crop has been hit
by frost and drought. There are only one or two cherries on branches
that would normally have kilograms of them. Much of the crop had to
be disposed of or dried up. In normal years, 35,000 tons of cherries
are produced in a 25,000-dekar (one dekar = .247 acres) area."
