Growers

Laboratory and Orchard Advice

The on site Laboratory caters for all fruit sampling, maturity testing and pest monitoring. Orchard advice is freely available from our orchard rep team. There are timely field days throughout the year, which support key times in the growing calendar.

Packhouse

All three of our packhouses are located on the one site. Each packhouse has a main sizer running the latest Compac electronics’ paralleled with an online class 2 sizer. This allows accurate decision to be made when sizing fruit. Intensive training and comprehensive systems allows us to capture the best return of trays per bin for the grower.

Cool Storage

On site there are 24 coolstores with varying numbers of internal rooms. All Coolstores have high air flow and humidity. This inturn with great inventory management allows for low loss of fruit.

The fruit is checked at the wharf prior to shipping to make sure the fruit is of the correct standard. Trevelyan’s over the years has been able to offer Zespri a consistently high quality product.
