Planting of a limited acreage is steady. Picking is steady but slow. Quality is fair to good. Warmer temperatures are helping to improve plant growth and development. Fruit setting and sizing are slow.
Harvesting is active with fancy and medium grades of good quality and color available.
Supply is light. A few fields in colder localities were irrigated to avoid freeze damage on Sunday, January 21. However, temperatures for most of the acreage did not get cold enough to run the sprinklers. Quality is fair to mostly good. Supplies are increasing.
