Kiwifruit Plants For Sale In New Zealand
Quality plants, on time
Southern Cross Horticulture has a large network of greenhouses that we use to grow our own juvenile plants. Through our own unique nursery process and our highly controlled environment we deliver plants that are:
- Very high quality
- Highly consistent
- Delivered on time.
These three criteria are critical to orchard development and when kiwifruit plants don’t live up to these standards, this can severely impact on both time to crop and the ultimate yield and capacity of the orchard many years from now.
Our consistently high quality plants help you minimise your risks and produce exceptional results – allowing your orchard development to crop bigger and faster than the industry average.
Expertise in plant science
Creating the right type of environment for plants to thrive and deliver such great results requires more than just the right infrastructure – it depends largely on skills, expertise and experience. That’s why we are proud to have a substantial team of highly trained and seasoned experts to care for our plants. Our specialists cover every aspect of the nursery process, including:
- Horticultural Science
- Propagation
- Seedling care
- Growing and agronomy
- Orchard planting strategies.
Perfect growing conditions
Growing robust and large plants is our speciality. We achieve this through creating the perfect nursery environment. This environment has been arrived at as a result of an exacting process that has taken years to develop and refine. That environment includes controlling:
- Irrigation and nutrient solutions
- Temperature and humidity
- Beneficial biology.
