  Moscow Oblast 2024 ministry results (AgroXXI): more than 1.9 thousand tonnes of fruit and berries, with no apple calendar. Dates are an editorial summer–autumn orchard window. Storage and imports are out of scope. 1.9 thousand tonnes is all fruit and berries, not apples only. No explicit peak: available sources do not justify a narrower window without false precision.

    Ministry results republished 26 December 2024: about 240 thousand tonnes of open-field vegetables, dominated by cabbage, carrot and beetroot; more than 1.9 thousand tonnes of fruit and berries. Greenhouse tomatoes/cucumbers are listed separately (protected ground) and are out of open-field season scope. No beetroot- or apple-specific harvest calendar.

  Agro-committee report of 25 August 2025: 1 tonne of apples already picked (25 tonnes to the same date in 2024). The source has no start, peak or end — bounds are editorial. 1 tonne is a progress snapshot, not a season definition. No explicit peak: available sources do not justify a narrower window without false precision.

  Evidence

  Voronezh agriculture ministry (via Abireg, March 2024): oblast in the top five for fruit and berries; Ostrogzhsksadpitomnik harvested 26 thousand tonnes of apples in 2023. No picking calendar — bounds are editorial for a warmer Black-Earth orchard. The 2024 frost is a year shock, not a reason to omit a typical season. Post-harvest storage is not modelled. No explicit peak: available sources do not justify a narrower window without false precision.
