Fuyu Matsumoto

By DAVID from Whakatane, 15 months ago

We purchased this from our local nursery at an end of season sale in 2016. We had no luck with Fuyu years ago. We got a few fruit in 2017, I think the possums got them. This year 2018 we got about 20 fruit and they are excellent. We picked the first ones in May when we saw Fuyu in the supermarket. We are in a cold microclimate in the Whakatane area... so not early. The colour of the fruit is great.. better .. deeper orange.. than the Fuyu in the supermarket. Mild/sweet flavour, easy to eat skin and all, probably a good source of vit.A. Would be great in fruit salad to add orange colour. So, seems easy to grow, and fruits well. Like an orange apple.. kids should like them.
