3 Topics 1. Whispers from California 2. Stonefruit evaluation 3. My thoughts on Orchard Innovation 4. Current 'Club' Opportunities 5. Apple varieties 6. Stonefruit varieties

4 Whispers from California Production at height was about 62 million boxes and currently at about 40 million boxes o Resulting in strong demand for nursery trees o Shippers reporting good prices this year, except apricots Large growers can afford to innovate and still gamble on varieties Small to medium sized growers are being conservative in their variety selection, trying to 'Guarantee' returns Quote from: Robert Woolley Dave Wilson Nursery

5 Can you afford to gamble with varieties any more? We used to be able to gamble Not any more as margins are tight Evaluate, Evaluate, Evaluate!

6 The Evaluation Project First and second evaluations are in, mainly from Renmark. This year we should be getting secondary evaluations from other regions. The latest Annual Report is available at: This project is funded by HAL through voluntary contributions from Graham's Factree Pty Ltd with matched funds from the Australian government.

7 Current Sites Renmark - Primary stonefruit Swan Hill - Secondary stonefruit Shepparton - Secondary stonefruit Perth Hills - Secondary stonefruit Lismore - Secondary low chill stonefruit (removed) Wangaratta - Primary cherries Young - Secondary cherries Silvan - Secondary cherries Adelaide Hills - Secondary cherries Tasmania - Secondary cherries (still being finalised) Swan Hill - Secondary cherries

41 Time for me to Start Thinking My thoughts on Innovation Graham's Factree have a lot to offer: o Varieties that reduce cost of production o Varieties that can help to become a price setter

42 How we currently market Most growers send fruit to market and hope for the best Most fruit currently grown is a commodity Major retailers dominate the market We have NO say in price achieved Setting higher and higher quality standards Very difficult to be profitable, if at all

43 Two Innovative options Price setting varieties o Grower groups o Marketing partner o Restricted plantings Reduce cost of production o Innovative breeding o Reducing annual production inputs o Increase pack out

44 Planning a future planting Questions you need to ask yourself Will I plant existing varieties or new varieties? Where is your market - export or domestic? How will they be accepted? Who will market them? What price do you expect or more importantly, what price do you need? Will you partner with other growers? Are you prepared to work with a single marketer if required? How much investment will be required to launch the product if it's new? Will the new product require ongoing investment in

45 Price setting examples Jazz(TM) example by Montagues, Rowan to discuss on Friday o Price is set to all customers, all year o A grower group coordinated by grower / marketer Modi(TM) - fruit shown this morning o Price will be set to all customers, all year o A grower group including a marketer Rockit(TM) - a talk on Friday o Not sure of price structure but probably export focus based on NZ experience o A grower coop incorporating a marketer Kiku(TM) - It's just a Fuji o Not here in Australia, but popular in many other countries o Marketing and packaging

46 Innovation to reduce production inputs Independence TM almond example o Reduced pollination costs o Reduced harvest costs One pass harvest Reduced pollution Disease resistance o Less spraying Increase production per hectare o Use of rootstocks o More productive cultivars

47 Innovation to reduce production inputs(continued) Less picks o High coloured cultivars or sports o Improved rootstocks Increased packouts o High coloured cultivars or sports o Improved rootstocks

48 'Club' Opportunities SustainApples(TM) Isaaq(TM) apple Possibly future stages of Modi(TM) Honeycrisp apple Rubens apple Kiku apple Angelys pear

49 Scab Resistant Apples Lower inputs Better for the environment Organic becomes easier SustainApple TM

50 'SustainApple' TM Reduced carbon footprint from growing naturally disease resistant apples. (Up to 49%). (As measured in the Po Valley at sea level)

51 'Ariane' Apple Highly coloured, eats exceptionally well. Scab resistant.

52 'Ariane' Apple Part of a club in Europe.

53 'Dalinette' Choupette(TM) Apple Popular variety in Europe, Limited fruit seen in Australia.

54 'Crimson Crisp' Trees per year sold in France. My personal favorite. Eats well, looks fantastic.

55 'Smerelda' 30 days earlier than Granny Smith. excellent flavour, high sugar content and elevated acidity. The taste is similar to Granny Smith but sweeter and more fragrant.

56 'Gaia' Larger than Gala, The flavour is good, very sweet, similar to Gala but with a more intense aroma.

57 'Gemini' Very attractive, big, larger than Gala. Uniform brilliant ruby red blush over almost the entire surface.

58 'Fujion' Similar to Fuji with an intense red colour and some stripes. It is round and slightly elongated, very regular and more consistent in size than Fuji. The flesh is crispy, juicy and intensely sweet, generally sweeter than Fuji. No biennial bearing.

59 ISAAQ(TM) Apple

60 Modi(TM) Apple

61 Honeycrisp Apple

62 Rubens Apple

63 Kiku(TM) Apple

64 Angelys(TM) Pear

65 'Independence' Almond Self Fertile Fruit quality similar to 'Nonpareil' Blossom time just before 'Nonpareil' Use as a pollinator or on its own. Fruit matures 2 days before 'Nonpareil', can be harvested together.

66 'Independence' Almond

67 Apples 'Jugala' 'Galaval' 'Auvil Early Fuji' 'Aztec Fuji'

68 'Jugala' Apple High Coloured Early Strain -7 Days of 'Buckeye' Potential of extending your gala season. Yet to see fruit in Australia but this summer we should start to see some fruit. Similar to 'Imperial Gala'

69 'Jugala' Maturity comparison with 'Mondial' (Imperial) Gala, picked same date.

70 'Jugala' Colour comparison with 'Mondial' (Imperial)Gala

71 'Galaval' Apple Very good colour, Same maturity as 'Buckeye' Seen one piece of excellent fruit in Australia but we should see more fruit this summer.

72 'Galaval' Colour comparison with 'Buckeye' Gala 1 week before harvest.

73 'Galaval' Comparison with 'Buckeye' Gala

74 'Auvil Early Fuji' 4 weeks earlier than 'Naga Fu No.2'.

75 'Aztec' Fuji Exceptional fuji variety Known around the world as the best coloured block Fuji.

76 'Aztec' Comparison with Fuji Rakuraku.

77 'Aztec' Colour comparison with Fuji Rakaraku

78 Apple Rootstocks 'Lancep' -Smaller than M.9 -Flat branch angles -Possible option for vigorous cultivars especially fuji's 'Cepiland' -Slightly larger than M'9 but smaller than 'M.26' -Improved colour and packouts -Calm trees

79 Apricot Types 'Westcot' Interspecific apricot Currently commercially available. Eats well, looks good, nice blush. -15 days of Santa Rosa. Good range of Apricots are currently in test and are going to be released shortly

80 Apricot Types 'Kylese-Cot' Interspecific apricot Should mature 7 days before Poppicot or 12 days before Earlicot A new self-fertile interspecific apricot which is drawing attention in the USA for its extra-early harvest, good size and attractive orange skin. It has only recently been released from Australian Quarantine. The orange freestone flesh has a balanced acidic-sweet flavor. Kylese-Cot has good storage and shipping characteristics.

96 White Flesh Peaches 'Snow Angel' Rewards good grower practices, ie thinning, pruning, fertigation etc fruit. Low chill. Needs lots of thinning and up to 4 picks but is worth the work.

97 Stone fruit rootstocks 'Atlas' Good vigour Produces larger fruit Tolerant to lime-induced chlorosis Tolerance to root knot nematode Can delay harvest by 3 days 'GF677' Vigorous Tolerance to lime-induced chlorosis Susceptible to nematodes
