Fruit Tree Yield Calculator
Estimate orchard marketable yield from tree density, bearing share, fruit count, fruit size, packout, field area, and harvest economics.
Orchard harvest estimate
Move from planted trees to packed fruit and net harvest value
Sample bearing trees across blocks and canopy positions. Packout—not gross biological fruit—is the saleable yield.Orchard map
Bearing canopy, cull fraction, and packed-yield path
Tree circles represent the entered bearing share; the side rail separates packed fruit from culls.Detailed calculation process
Count fruit, convert to weight, then apply packout
General symbolic formulas
T = AdbF = TfYg = F / (Aw)Ym = YgpM = AYmValue = M(r - c)Area and tree density determine the planted population. Only bearing trees contribute fruit; fruit per pound converts count to mass, and packout removes culls.

Field steps
- Map planted and missing trees.
- Sample fruit on bearing trees by block.
- Use a grade sample for packout and fruit/lb.
Examples
Frost damage: lower bearing share before changing fruit/tree.
Small sizing: raise fruit/lb and test packout separately.
Limitations
The estimate omits block age, cultivar, alternate bearing, drop, storage shrink, grade pricing, harvest timing, and sampling uncertainty.
Fruit tree yield FAQ
Why separate bearing share from fruit per tree?
Missing or nonbearing trees contribute zero even if productive trees carry a normal crop.
Does packout include field drop?
Only if the entered percentage was measured against gross fruit including that loss.
Is net value orchard profit?
No. It subtracts only entered harvest and packing cost, not annual orchard overhead.
