Please be 'kind & respectful' to the trees when picking cherries 🥰

🍒 Why Are There So Many Cherry Orchards in Tasmania, but So Few PYO?
The answer lies in both fruit quality and tree care.

🍒 Cherries are delicate — and so are the trees
Cherries are easily bruised, and improper picking can:
❌ damage the fruit stem
❌ reduce storage life
❌ affect next season’s yield

Even more importantly, rough handling can harm young branches and fruiting spurs, which directly impacts future harvests.

🍃Responsible harvesting protects the orchard
At IRON CREEK BAY ESTATE, we believe that harvesting cherries is not just about picking fruit — it’s about protecting the orchard for the future.

✔ Pick cherries with the stem attached
✔ Avoid pulling or twisting branches
✔ Be mindful of young shoots and leaves
✔ Never climb or lean on trees

These small actions help preserve the trees and ensure consistent harvests year after year.

🍒 PYO is about education, not just experience
PYO works best when visitors understand how precious the fruit and trees truly are.
With the right knowledge and respect, cherry picking can be both enjoyable and sustainable.

Thank you for supporting responsible picking and helping us care for our cherry trees at IRON CREEK BAY ESTATE.

Hi Everyone ☺️ So sorry to disappoint, but unfortunately, Sorell Fruit Farm will not be open for fruit picking this season.

If you are looking for a wonderful 'pick your own' experience or prefer to just buy a bag or box of 'already picked' cherries .... Here is the latest update from 🍒 Iron Creek Bay Estate 🍒

Cherry Season… almost! 🍒

We’re watching the orchards closely and waiting for the sun to finish its magic.

If the weather plays nicely, we might just receive the best Christmas gift of all: trees full of bright, sweet Iron Creek Bay cherries.

Cherry Season dates will be confirmed very soon, so keep an eye out. The moment they’re ready, you’ll want to be here.

Nature’s timing. Our favourite suspense... Pick your own, grab a bag or whatever!
