Nice looking cherries. Looks like Roundup used under the tree, so not organic. Probably fertilizer and not compost. Thats how you are able to get the size. I guess its all about the look and size and not about what is in it.
Roundup is a contact herbicide, so is used extremely carefully in horticulture systems, otherwise the crop would be affected. All exporters must do yearly MRL testing to comply with food safety requirements. Compost inputs are part of the yearly nutrition program and fertilizers are expensive, so low input and efficient programs are the norm in Tasmania. Size is not just relating to fertilizer inputs and is as much related to cherry cultivar selection and the long cool growing season you can achieve with geographic location. Personally taste and firmness mean more to me than fruit size and appearance, I'm confident this fruit is safe to eat and all that's in it are fruit sugars, small amounts of protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, anthocyanins and water.
Incorrect, Cherries exported from Tasmania are not irradiated unless being exported to Indonesia. Irradiation has two forms and is now moving to e-beam (where markets are allowing), please research that if you are concerned with treatment methods.
The Best of Best cherries I have ever had in my life 💘🍒😋
I’d really like to visit your Hansen Orchards next season from Gold Coast 🤩

Do you grow Benton cherry , if so how do they compare to Lapins?

There are a few there, but the main ones are Lapins and Sweetheart (I think).

A shame the cherries are irradiated . Nice to look at but not worth eating .
