Boerica®
The Boerica variety represents the Italian green kiwi of excellence. A variety generated by a spontaneous mutation of the progenitor Hayward, whose organoleptic and aesthetic characteristics clearly exceed the ones of hayward, attesting to high quality and quantity standards.
It shows less production of lateral fruits, with consequent reduced production of “triple” and deformed fruits. Meanwhile achieves an average weight of fruits over 100gr with very good firmness and dry matter values above 17%. In conclusion boerica could be an excellent alternative of green kiwi, as it is a variety with high and very promising agronomic characteristics.
