I've read some information that led me to believe that OFM was present in Oregon and Washington. I've never seen an OFM or damage from them on my peaches and plums. From what I understand, if they're around they will make themselves known.
So... are they in the Willamette Valley? Oregon? Washington?
Or not?

Well, I talked to Jim Gilbert of One Green World yesterday, and he assured me that we do not have Oriental Fruit Moth in Oregon or Washington. FWIW.

Not much to write home about. I wouldn't go except that I live nearby. They had the usual fruit sampling room. I finally did get a taste of some ripe Cornelian Cherries. There was also a 1-2 hour tour of their property including trial areas and various interesting tree plantings, but no look inside the greenhouses. A few potted trees and plants out front for sale.
I still wonder how much of their stock is imported from other growers.
I think the HOS puts on a much better show in the Fall.
