The harvest of plums for prunes is getting under way this week in Tehama County and areas south. Growers say the fruit is sugaring well and holding on the trees well.
In the photos, Red Bluff grower Tyler Christensen -- another north state innovator who's under 40 -- picks and tastes a plum to check it for sweetness, and plums are abundant on one of his trees.
Watch for my story on the harvest at CapitalPress.com this week.
