Quality is good. Fruit size is medium/large – large. Ripeness is ½ - ¾ colour.
We are happy with the first harvest of the season as harvest volumes and quality have exceeded expectations. Our focus this week still remains on harvesting, but plant maintenance will be a priority as we are forecast to receive very hot temperatures over the weekend. We will be harvesting again before the weekend to mitigate further plant stress and in turn ensure fruit quality and healthy ripening.
