Interim 2008 harvest report























More than a ton of fruit harvested to date, with the scoring system providing essential insight to the trees upon which to concentrate. All category 3 tree fruit is still in the field, awaiting the final nuts to fall before the nut count is done. Fruit from all scored trees has been counted, with category 1 trees averaging about 20 nuts per tree and category 2 about 70 nuts per tree. Category 3 trees are well up into the hundreds of nuts.


Some modifications to the wet processing area were undertaken, with significant improvement in effectiveness and efficiency.


The full report will follow once harvest is complete.
