Harvesting apricots on the family orchard in Horotane Valley yesterday is Alan Jarvis, aged 16. Picking stone fruit began on the Jarvis orchard about a week ago, three weeks earlier than usual. It is a bumper crop, according to Alan’s father, Mr Peter Jarvis. He expects his crop to be finished by the second week in January. The early season, also being experienced in the major fruit-growing regions of Hawke’s Bay, Nelson and Gisborne, is thought to be because of an unusually warm November. Christchurch markets expect all stone fruit to be plentiful during the Christmas period. —Photograph by JOHN COSGROVE
