OUR citrus VARIETIES
Lemons
Genoa
Lisbon
Eureka
Lemon trees grow vigorously and become difficult to manage if not pruned. Unlike other citrus varieties, which normally bloom just once a year, lemons will continue to flower throughout the season. We produce three types of lemon varieties namely Eureka, Lisbon and Genoa.
These varieties are very similar to each other. Having a slightly round to ellipsoid shape with a medium to thin rind thickness.
Navels
Navels are the earliest maturing of the orange varieties, producing large, sweet and deep orange seedless fruit.
Kirkwood Reds
Kirkwood Red is a seedless citrus variety that can be differentiated by the trade and identified by the consumer due to its external blush, dark red internal pigment, and exceptional taste. In terms of consumption, Kirkwood Red navel has excellent potential for the differentiation of pigmented fruit with higher antioxidant levels and to add colour to fruit salads, juice, etc.
