The cherries are all planted in the UFO system (upright fruiting offshoots).
The UFO system provides maximum sunlight to the fruit and trees, is easier and simpler to harvest, with higher production than the traditional style of cherry tree. APG cherries are supplied to offshore markets in December and January each year with the support of Central Pac, local cherry exporters based in Cromwell.
Recently, Lindis Crossing Station Cherries has entered into a joint venture with Golden Plains Orchard to further develop and expand the Lindis Crossing cherry orchard. We’re excited to see the results and the growth this partnership will bring.
