THIS MANUAL is one of a series published by the University of California College of Agriculture and
sold for a charge which is based upon returning only a portion of the production cost. By this means
it is possible to make available publications which, due to relatively high cost of production, or limited
audience, would otherwise be beyond the scope of the College publishing program.

THE WHERE AND WHEN OF CALIFORNIA FRUIT AND NUT CROPS

WHERE

WHEN

Important production areas are outlined in color
on a separate map for each crop. Areas are outlined
on the basis of differences in location, varietal com-
position, and harvest seasons.

Major concentrations of plantings are shown in
solid red. Minor mmm^i^iM^m and scattered plant-
ings are indicated by small red dots* WMle acreage
is an indicator of production for a particnlar area,
the relative production between areas inay vary be-
cause of diffirences in yield per acre*

Statistical information on varietal composition of
each ar^ aid data on state acreage are given on the
reverse of e&ih map*

Harvesting periods are indicated on separate cal-
endars for each crop* Each bar on the calendar shows
total period of hairvest ( length of bar ) and peak period
of harvest (solid section of bar).

All periods shown are i^itgfl harvest times. Actual
harvest periods may vary considerably from year to
year as a resnlt of : 1 ) changing weather conditions ;
2} market and economic conditions ; B) availability
of harvest labor; 4) perishability of the crop; 5) de-
velopment of new mechanical harvesting equipment
and techniques ; and 6) cultural practices and condi-
tionSf siich as &^ progranis, age of

tre#, and tlie like*
