Record Kanzi® apple crop for 2021 season
A record crop of Kanzi® apples will see the 2021 season extended, with fruit expected to be available in supermarkets from mid-March until Spring. The bright red Kanzi® apple, a cross between a Royal Gala and Braeburn, was first introduced to Australia over 12 years ago.
A diligent tree planting program has resulted in a steady and sustainable lift in supply with this season’s volumes expected to reach over 5,000 tonne.
Horticulture Brand Management Australia Pty Ltd (HBMA) General Manager, Ms Elisa King said it was exciting to be looking forward to a bountiful season after the hardships of 2020 which saw growers battle through bushfires and drought.
