Cost data on three high density orchard systems developed from focus group discussions in the winter and spring of 1998. The computer program utilized is available on the Fruit Area of Expertise web page at http://www.msue.msu.edu which will allow individuals to adjust this data and/or enter their own information. The staff paper includes 65 tables of consensus information from the focus group discussions. All three planting systems, vertical axe, central leader and slender spindle, took 9 years to break even under the assumptions utilized in this analysis.
