Detailed predicted apple peak harvest dates for five production regions in Michigan are now available to help with planning, including application of preharvest treatments and scheduling labor. These reports give the normal and predicted harvest dates for the southwest, west central, central, southeast and northwest regions for common commercial apple varieties including McIntosh, Jonathan and Red Delicious.
The predicted harvest dates are based on mathematical models developed by Michigan State University for these varieties using full bloom date and the temperatures for the 30 days after bloom.
