California apricot harvest completed

Apricot harvest in California is over.

 

 

Fruit now in stores is from Pacific Northwest orchards.

 

 

The Apricot Producers of California reports it was a good season with no unsold fruit left. Fruit quality was reported as very good.

 

 

Total production is 66,000 tons, about the same as last year.

 

 

Some orchards are now being removed, but farmers are considering replanting apricots, as supply and demand equaled this year.
