11 SunGold development timeline 1995 Tetraploid Actinidia chinensis breeding programme begins 2000 Breeding team selects 6 females and 7 males as promising parents seedlings, including Gold3, are planted out in the research orchard 2004 Gold3 produces its first four fruit, identified as having superior dry matter and texture characteristics 2006 Ten selections, including Gold3, are selected for clonal trials Gold3 is transferred from the clonal development programme to pre-commercial block trials after sensory trials indicate high consumer preference Approximately 11.5 hectares of Gold3 established across the North Island and top of the South Island 206 hectares of Gold3 is released to growers. Psa is identified in New Zealand 2011 An additional 250 hectares of Gold3 is released to growers 2012 An additional 1,750 hectares of Gold3 to be released to growers to replace Hort16A ,600 hectares of Gold3 planted

12 Volume (million trays) SunGold Forecast GOLD Production by Supply Year GOLD 3 Hort16A Gold

13 Message Importance of pipeline concept Understanding that breeding a new cultivar was going to take a few years A new cultivar needs to be developed fast(er)
