Smaller U.S. Bartlett Pear Harvest
WASHINGTON - Jun 10/05 - SNS -- Production of Bartlett pears in California, Oregon, and Washington is forecast at 437,000 tons, down 5% from last year and 4% below 2003, according to the latest USDA crop production estimates.
Production in California is forecast at 200,000 tons, down 10% from last season and 8% below two years ago. The Bartlett crop is down this season due to untimely rains during the growing season. The late season rains have caused some fruit to be unmarketable.
In Oregon, growers expect to harvest 62,000 tons, unchanged from last year but 15% above 2003. The first bloom of Bartlett's in the mid-Columbia area during February and March was early this year due to unseasonably warm temperatures. Pollination during bloom was not ideal, although growers are currently hand thinning their trees.
