Results of the survey showed just over 7.99 million commercially grown fruit trees on 39,260 acres. The total number of Oregon fruit trees increased nearly six percent since 1993, but total fruit tree acreage was down 17 percent. Fruit tree density in Oregon has increased throughout time. The 1986 survey showed an average of 118 trees per acre; the 1993 survey showed 159 trees per acre; and the 2006 survey showed 204 trees per acre. The results of the three fruit tree inventory surveys have shown more commercial trees grown on less acreage. As of January 1, 2006, pears other than Bartletts accounted for the most fruit trees in Oregon with 2.87 million trees. Sweet cherries were second with 2.04 million trees, and apples were third with 1.92 million trees. Bartlett pears ranked fourth Statewide, prunes and plums ranked fifth, peaches ranked sixth, and tart cherries ranked seventh. In 1993, pears other than Bartletts were also the number one commercial fruit tree crop, apples were second, Bartlett pears were third, and sweet cherries were fourth. Apricots and nectarines were tabulated on a Statewide basis with no breakdown by age or variety. There were 8,400 apricot trees grown on 67 acres; and 10,600 nectarine trees grown on 60 acres. In 1993, there were 12,600 apricot trees grown on 120 acres; and 9,000 nectarine trees grown on 70 acres. The total number of Oregon trees has decreased for all fruits since 1993, except sweet cherries, which have more than doubled in the past 13 years. The smallest percentage decrease was in pears other than Bartletts, which showed a one percent decrease. The largest percentage decrease was in tart cherries, which decreased 62 percent since 1993. The total number of fruit trees has increased in Hood River County, Wasco County, Umatilla County, and Union County. The total number of fruit trees has decreased in the Willamette Valley, Douglas County, Jackson and Josephine counties, and the aggregate of all other areas. Survey Design and Data Collection The 2006 fruit tree inventory survey was designed to collect data from all commercial orchards in Oregon. The primary data collection method was via mail with telephone follow-up of operators not responding by mail. Personal interviews were conducted with some larger growers and those inaccessible by telephone. Growers in Hood River and Wasco counties were able to report their data through maps provided by Jim Bishop at The Dalles Farm Service Agency, USDA office. Data Tabulation The data requested for each orchard was: (1) acreage and total tree numbers for each tree fruit; (2) acreage and tree numbers by variety and age of trees for each tree fruit. Orchards that were interplanted were proportionally allocated acreage for each type, variety, and year planted. Top-worked trees were considered planted in the year they were top-worked. 1 Oregon Tree Fruit Inventory - 2006 Area Willamette Valley 2 1986 1993 2006 Douglas 1986 1993 2006 Hood River 1986 1993 2006 Wasco 1986 1993 2006 Umatilla 1986 1993 2006 Union 1986 1993 2006 Jackson and Josephine 1986 1993 2006 Other areas 1986 1993 2006 Oregon 1986 1993 2006 1 2 3 Fruit trees: Acres by area, Oregon, January 1, 1986, 1993, and 2006 Bartlett Other Sweet Tart Apples Peaches pears pears 1 cherries cherries Acres 975 800 970 115 (3) (3) 3,990 2,750 1,200 545 600 90 2,950 3,400 2,420 10 (3) (3) 300 400 50 1,160 1,550 260 10,045 9,500 4,990 Acres 280 200 220 105 (3) (3) 3,550 3,400 3,200 15 (3) 90 10 (3) (3) 5 (3) (3) 2,360 2,000 800 10 100 40 6,335 5,700 4,350 Acres 70 (3) 170 15 (3) (3) 6,000 7,050 7,500 40 (3) 180 6,140 7,100 4,960 5 250 70 12,270 14,400 12,880 Acres 4,545 4,150 2,800 190 (3) (3) 685 750 1,900 6,025 5,700 8,400 450 350 330 820 750 400 35 (3) (3) 40 150 270 12,790 11,850 14,100 Acres 2,225 1,850 725 (3) (3) 5 5 2,230 1,850 730 Acres 950 750 400 90 (3) (3) 50 (3) (3) 60 (3) (3) 60 (3) (3) 10 (3) (3) 280 250 170 90 200 140 1,590 1,200 710 Prunes and plums Acres 2,800 2,050 1,100 525 300 140 5 (3) (3) 805 550 195 5 (3) (3) 30 (3) (3) 35 100 65 4,205 3,000 1,500 Total Acres 11,845 9,800 6,385 1,040 300 140 14,275 13,950 13,800 6,690 6,300 8,760 4,275 4,300 2,945 850 750 400 9,145 9,750 5,980 1,345 2,350 850 49,465 47,500 39,260 Other pears also includes Asian pears.

Without their cooperation and assistance, this report would not be possible. Appreciation is also extended to the Oregon Sweet Cherry Commission and the Pear Bureau Northwest for their financial contribution. Thank you to Jim Bishop in The Dalles Farm Service Agency, USDA office for the time, energy, and effort he put into this project. Thank you also to the phone and field enumerators for their hard work in collecting data for this survey. The information in this report will assist in forecasting crop size, especially as new trees become bearing. Being able to predict crop size helps develop marketing plans and strategies to successfully move Oregon fruit at a profitable price. Survey results will also aid the industry with transportation planning and evaluating labor needs. Results will help identify planting trends that can aid growers in making decisions about future plantings and help avoid potential overproduction. Oregon Tree Fruit Inventory - 2006 14 Notes:
