TopFruit Newsletter - KiwiKo® - February 2025
KiwiKo’s first Kiwifruit Field Day in South Africa was a resounding success, uniting global industry leaders to assess new Yanoon varieties and discuss the future of kiwifruit production. The event featured first fruiting observations, commercial block visits, and knowledge-sharing sessions. Yanoon 3, a green-fleshed A. chinensis variety, offers a sweeter taste and higher yields than traditional green kiwis, making it an exciting option for growers. Meanwhile, the YN-RT1 rootstock shows strong resistance to waterlogging, PSA, and Kiwi Vine Decline Syndrome, addressing key challenges in global kiwifruit orchards.
