The Orange Pippin site has a entry option for apples, especially for bloom and ripening dates.
Hey @ILParadiseFarm
Saw my app listed above… I think I got it mostly working (def usable).
Think the absolute minimal amount of money I needed to get it off the ground to pay for this “programming plugin/library” that I use in my web application was $2000.00 (They have a popup warning otherwise saying need to pay for the plugin. I was actually hoping for more to get some help/tech-support from the people who create this library which they also offer for a price to fix some bugs and also to hire a design person to make better fruit-tree pics).
I debated paying out of pocket… But it is a bit of money so i put up a Kickstarter and only got $1 raised 
If you check out my Kickstarter video, you can see it works (it was just slightly buggy occasionally… also its great for backyard fruit growers who have maybe a few hundred veggies/plants/trees max… but I think performance wouldn’t be great for huge farms with thousands of trees):
So never had a chance to push it live. I use it personally for my orchard though :).

Google Sheets is working great for me. It’s nice to be able to pull up on any device.

Even though my MS Excel license is long expired, Google sheets will open and import old xls documents with no trouble.

It works for zipcode 62468, but not for most others; e.g. 14850 (Cornell University).

Only your ZIP code seems to work in the Chrome browser.
CORRECTION: pasting in zip codes fails often but typing in values quickly works!

I’m running Windows 10 Pro on the desktop. I used the MS Snipping Tool (found in accessories) to take this shot of your app in the Chrome browser:

Yowsa! I remember those days in the 90’s when we wrote HTML (and sometimes postscript) from scratch!

Sometime when you find enough 'round to-its … consider allowing users to enter either their zipcode or their climate zone.

IMO, Atom is a very good choice.

Any plans to deal with trees that will not survive or will never fruit in certain zones?
Take PawPaw for example.
- In zone 3A your chart predicts October ripening, when actually they die during the winter there.
- In zone 10b your chart predicts late Aug-Sept, but actually they never fruit in that climate.

To my knowledge, no one has compiled survival & fruiting zone information in a form you could readily incorporate. Such is the thing of crown jewels.
From the database or lookup table point of view it appears to require 4 more columns: two for survival min/max and two more for fruiting min/max. You can implement slowly over time by allowing “?” in your columns as ‘unknown’ – which also provides a marker to each time you pursue data updates.
