Well, the big commercial plantations here are "timed" on a grand scale - they're staggered by 100-hectare sections by planting pups of equal ages at various times of the year. (IE, when they plant pups, no matter what time of year it is, the pups are always 6 months old.) This way, each 100-hectare section fruits at a specific time-range and then they cycle them.
