WA’s new apple is Bravo!

7 April 2016
Grower News

The news has been eagerly awaited and follows extensive brand development work by the variety owner the Department of Agriculture and Food, Western Australia (DAFWA), and Fruit West Co-operative Ltd (the licensee for Australia) in conjunction with Apple and Pear Australia Ltd.

Bravo fruit is expected to be available in WA and NSW this season and is fundamental to building and driving demand from consumers. This should encourage the further planting of Bravo trees across Australia with the aim of moving into exports.

Growers interested in planting Bravo trees may contact Fruit West Executive Officer Nardia Stacy on 08 9368 3869 or via e-mail to order trees; however, stocks are limited.

Details of the field day are:
