Citrus
HortResearch's citrus improvement programme based at Kerikeri is investigating new products with easily peeled rind, seedlessness, and increased size and disease resistance.
- 'Bay Gold', a juicy, tangelo-like citrus fruit bred by HortResearch was the first citrus cultivar to be registered for Plant Variety Rights in New Zealand
- 'Bay Zest', 'Bay Sweetie' and 'Bay Sunset' are three new mandarin releases suitable for the home garden
- HortResearch imports, evaluates and distributes cultivars from overseas and maintains accessions in the National Citrus Germplasm Collection
- HortResearch is winding up a citrus breeding programme to breed and select citrus cultivars adapted to the New Zealand climate
Licensees
Tharfield Nursery has an exclusive proprietary position in New Zealand for the easy peel mandarins, 'Bay Sunset', 'Bay Sweetie', 'Bay Zest' and 'Bay Gold'.
