Much of this week has been about harvesting.Mostly sunny days with fluctuating temperatures and extreme heat. Daily temperatures ranged between 15°C - 39°C. Overnight temperatures ranged between 10°C - 22°C.
Larger volumes harvested.
The quality of the fruit is good. Size is medium – medium/large. Ripeness is ½ colour.
The recent warm weather has brought on a flush of fruit in considerable volumes. Much of this week has been about harvesting as we have started picking from patch 3 approx. 7-10 days earlier than we had anticipated. Fruit will be slightly forward in colour, but overall quality is holding up well. We will also be going back into the crops to ensure that we can manage the stress on the plants over the next 4 days of extreme heat
