Following the success of the ARRA Passion™ Fire Webinar, Grapa held a second webinar, exclusively for traders and retailers, highlighting the optimal conditions required in the exportation, importation and marketing of ARRA Sweeties™ (ARRA 15). The main topics discussed were how to identify and maintain consistency and appearance, as well as the great eating quality of ARRA 15, when the sugar / acid balance is reached. One of the webinar’s speakers was Andre Vermaak, ARRA Table Grape Consultant, who shared his experience of growing great quality ARRA 15 in Namibia.
We have a crush on this intense cherry-colour variety with its large, elongated, berries. This mid-late variety that boasts excellent sugar-acid balance, cherry flavour and sensational crunch, delights in appearance, taste and eating experience. Proven to be fully rain resistant, the variety also has excellent fertility and exceptional storage ability. It is the ultimate long shipping variety with the best shelf life in the industry.
ARRA CHERRY CRUSH™ literally has it all!
In short: THE ULTIMATE RED.
This established early red variety boasts a beautiful, natural, full red colour. It’s large, crunchy berries offer a fantastic eating quality. Good productivity, extraordinary hanging ability, shipping durability and shelf life, make it a choice early red.
The earliest existing red variety in the market ripens naturally 4-5 days before Flame. The advantageous short cycle, natural full red colour, together with large, sweet, crunchy berries make this a perfect Flame replacement. ARRA Fire Kiss has proven to be very fertile and grower friendly, as well as bearing great post-harvest and shipping qualities.
