Hybridberries

Our hybridberry breeding programme includes hybrid blackberries, loganberries and other polyploids. Five new cultivars of hybridberry have been released; 'Karaka Black', 'Ranui', 'Taranaki' and 'Mahana' for fresh market production, and 'Kaiteri' for processing. New selections incorporate high fruit quality, genetic spinelessness, rust resistance and excellent adaptation to New Zealand growing conditions.
