Royal Rosa
Royal Rosa is the first apricot of the season,
and wow, have you been waiting for that first taste.
Ripens at the end of November, with supply available
until mid December. Yellow skin with a red blush
and great flavour.

Golden Wairata
This variety is also early, but generally
larger than Royal Rosa. It is packed full of juice,
with that real apricot flavour. Being a new variety, we
only had very limited quantities of Golden Wairata available last
season, but we are pleased to advise that the crop will be
significantly larger in the 2001/2002 season - around 20 ton
- so this gem should be much easier to find in stores.

Sundrop
As the name suggests, this apricot is one of our
flagships. Large, with a beautiful clean
attractive skin. The flesh just melts in
your mouth. You'll love it.

with lots of juice. It can pack a punch with good
levels of acidity.

of a nectarine. Firm texture and a real golden sunny colour.

Trevatt
The old favourite, with lots of flavour. This one's
great for bottling and jam, so you can keep enjoying
the apricot taste right through the late summer
and winter.
