Work out fruit tree yield instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Orchard yield is trees x fruits per tree x average fruit weight. Only the fraction meeting size, colour and blemish standards earns the table price; the rest goes to processing or waste, so the marketable percentage often matters more to revenue than the gross tonnage.
Fruit yield
Gross yield (kg) = trees x fruits per tree x fruit weight (g) / 1000
Marketable
Marketable = gross x marketable grade %
Count fruit on a representative sample of at least ten trees, ideally on marked scaffold limbs scaled to the whole canopy, and average. Count after the natural June drop for reliability.
Total weight may fall slightly but fruit size, colour and grade-out improve, usually raising revenue. Thinning also promotes return bloom and evens out biennial bearing.
