The Process
Our High Health PSA hygiene starts from the selection of suitable Bruno fruit from which to extract seed.
Only selected Bruno growing in NON PSA regions are used. Before collection the vines are tested for PSA. The fruit is then thoroughly washed and disinfected. Once the seed is extracted it is also disinfected before being dried.
The seed is then germinated and grown on in an enclosed glass house. After the seedlings are hardened off they are field planted using our waterwheel transplanter.
All plants are guaranteed to be of good quality and health, and field grown.
Kiwifruit plants are treated with copper prior to dispatch unless exempt under KVH rules for research purposes. Plants are bundled in groups of 10. At an optional extra cost the roots can be wrapped in hessian and moist sawdust (please enquire at time of order for additional costing of this service). Prior to dispatch leaf samples are sent to Hill Laboratories for PSA testing.
