Fill your canopy faster with Superchargers

Young plants in cropping orchards have tended to follow the same old script – one year to grow roots and shoots, another year to grow leaders, a third year to grow canopy, and finally a crop in year four.

But now, the SCH Supercharger goes in with leaders so you get third year canopy growth in your first year, and crop in the next.

Consistent, quality kiwifruit plants, on time

These three criteria are critical to orchard development and when kiwifruit plants don’t live up to these standards, this can severely impact on both time to crop and the ultimate yield and capacity of the orchard many years from now.

Our consistently high quality kiwifruit plants help you minimise your risks and produce exceptional results – allowing your orchard development to crop faster than the industry average.

Raised on plant science expertise

Creating the right type of environment for kiwifruit plants to thrive and deliver great results requires more than just the right infrastructure – it needs a team of highly-trained and seasoned experts to care for them. Our specialists cover every aspect of the nursery process, including:
