California Prune Output Up, Apricots DownWASHINGTON - Jun 10/05 - SNS -- California is looking for a massive recovery in prune production this year, though the state's apricot harvest will likely be down from last year, according to the latest USDA crop production estimates. California's 2005 prune production is forecast at 105,000 dried tons, up 114% from last year's record low crop of 49,000 tons but 42% below 2003. The 2005 crop suffered from high temperatures during bloom in March. Hail damage was reported in some areas. However, this year's crop is expected to be better than last year's crop, which is the smallest on record since official estimates began in 1920.
