The Chilean plum season will finish with a flourish at Oppy, when the exciting new fruit known as RR1 arrives in April.
RR1 is a late-harvesting, long-storing plum with yellow flesh that transforms to light red as it ripens. First planted in Chile 2010, RR1 follows the popular Angelino variety in availability and can sustain the plum season well into May.

Looking ahead to the Chilean kiwifruit season, between last autumn's frost and high demand from Europe, we expect supply to be short and prices high. We anticipate typical season timing, with the first arrivals expected in the last week of March or the first week of April.

Look what's arriving on 2/18…
