A-Series Varieties
Our breeding program operates solely on royalties received from tree sales of our varieties. We do not receive any industry levy funds, government grants or tax breaks.
If as a grower you value this important program please ensure that you pay the royalties that allow the program to continue.
You can do this by always purchasing trees from the licensed nurseries listed here. Or if you have already bought trees without paying royalties, contact us, it is never too late to catch up.
