The younger plantings are also coming along nicely.Mostly sunny days with warmer temperatures. Daily temperatures ranged between 26°C – 37°C. Overnight temperatures ranged between 14°C - 22°C.
Harvest volumes are reasonable.
Fruit quality is good. Fruit size is medium – medium/large. Ripeness is ½ - ¾ colour.
After a brief period of smaller volumes being harvested, we are seeing much warmer conditions and in turn an increase in harvest volumes as well. The forecast shows that these warmer temperatures should continue, so we expect quality to improve further and volumes to remain consistent. The younger plantings are also coming along nicely as we can see healthy fruit set as well as thick truss and considerable space between the fruit which shows us that the fruit should be quite large in size.
