Fruits and Tree Nuts: Blooming, Harvesting, and Marketing Dates Agricultural Statistics Board

December 2006 2 NASS, USDA

Preface

This handbook identifies the usual blooming, harvesting, and marketing dates as well as principal producing

counties and major varieties for the fruits and tree nuts covered in the National Agricultural Statistics

Service’s national program of crop estimates. It updates the information contained in the previous edition of

this handbook issued December 1975.

The Field Offices of the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service compiled the basic information,

prepared the estimates of usual dates, and designated the important areas of production and major varieties for

their respective States. Growers and horticultural specialists were consulted to verify information published.

Definitions

Average Production – Three-year average production data are included to indicate the relative importance of

output in each State.

Acreage – The acreage provided is either the 2004 bearing acres or harvested acres depending on the

commodity.

Area – Producing areas within States are shown when available.

Usual Dates – Blooming, harvesting, and marketing dates refer to ‘usual’ dates covering most seasons and

exclude exceptionally early or exceptionally late seasons.

Full Bloom – In most instances, the period of time shown covering full bloom indicates when most of the

orchards in the specified area usually come into full bloom. In a few instances, a single date

represents the average peak date of full bloom for most orchards in that area.

Harvesting Dates – The beginning and ending harvesting dates encompass the period in which most of the

fruit is usually picked.

Marketing Dates – Beginning and ending dates for marketing cover the period when the fruit is usually sold

by the growers in the specified area. Marketing dates do not represent the period when processed

products, such as canned or frozen fruits, move onto marketing channels. For storage crops, such as

apples, the marketing period includes growers’ sales from storage. For the perishable crops, there

may be virtually no lag between harvesting and marketing.

Most Active Harvesting and Marketing Dates – These dates cover the periods when the bulk of the harvesting

and marketing usually comes. They do not include the light harvesting and marketing periods at the

beginning and ending of each season.

Principal Producing Counties – The principal producing counties are listed in order of importance within each

area as determined by the number of trees of bearing age or bearing acreage published in the 2002

Census of Agriculture or more recent data. The actual producing section may cover only part of a

county. All counties listed are not necessarily commercially important. The counties shown have

been selected according to their relative importance within each State.

Varieties – The varieties listed are the principal ones grown in the State and are listed in alphabetical order.
