These are grown in both high and low elevation nurseries to ensure that we are able to provide the best quality product available from the start of the growing process to the end product.

We currently grow three main varieties – Camarosa, Festival and Fortuna. Two of these varieties – Festival and Fortuna are only grown by us and cannot be purchased anywhere else in New Zealand.
