Top Fruit
With top fruit making up an above average component of the Colors basket (split 50:50 over apples and pears), we have the resources to explore new varieties in a category that traditionally takes many years for new varieties to come to fruition. Coupled with exciting developments abroad, we’re confident that we’ll continue to dominate the top end of the top fruit sector.
