The season in Shandong and the other main strawberry growing provinces is likely to be reduced due to very warm weather from the 18th of May. Prior to that the Spring was cool and just enough rain had fallen. The crop looked good but was all over in Shandong by 30th May rather than extending until the 10th of June as happens in some years. Fruit quality is nice. After strawberries we are straight into apricots.

Update from David following his November trip.

I have just returned from a delayed Spring visit to China and hope that you will find some points of interest.
