Global fresh produce grower Jupiter Group are thrilled to announce that they will be trialling six new varieties of South African plums in the northern hemisphere for the first time.
In co-operation with their kiwi partner in Greece, AS Nestos, Jupiter have secured the African Delight, Ruby Star, African Rose, Ruby Sun, Ruby Crisp and Sun Kiss plum varieties.
Specially selected
The plum varieties have been curated as part of a Culdevco breeding programme, a deciduous fruit licensor that curates and licenses innovative new varieties of plums, peaches, apples, pears and table grapes. The six varieties have been selected for their flavour, quality and likelihood to flourish in the prime surroundings of Kavala, Greece.
A project two years in the planning, the plants have now arrived into Europe and Jupiter expect to see samples of production in a couple of years’ time.
