California Peach Output Advancing
WASHINGTON - May 12/04 - SNS -- The California 2004 peach crop is forecast at 1.97 billion pounds, up 5% from 2003 and 3% above two years ago, according to the latest USDA crop report.
The California Freestone crop is forecast at 820 million pounds, up 3% from both last year and the 2002 crop. Bloom was delayed by cool, wet weather in February but a warm dry March made up for the slow start.
The USDA reports bloom in the early varieties was very good. However, some middle to late season varieties experienced problems with incomplete pollination. In addition, high temperatures during last year's late summer caused stress on trees. Harvest of Freestone peaches began during the first week of April in the Coachella Valley and around the middle of April in the Central Valley.
