New variety – SMW1524

Apr 21, 2021 | General

These photos was sent to us by Schalk Burger, who farms near Piketberg, Western Cape.  He was very happy with the results of the trial which was done on his farm.  This is a new variety (yet to be named) which will be available commercially from July 2021.  It has been trialled with great success for a couple of years now, giving excellent yields and great size.  It also has an excellent internal quality and great flavour.
