Growing Season

The season commenced around two weeks earlier than normal and we manged to navigate some extremely cold mornings in spring with minimal frost damage. The flowering period was wet and unseasonably large diurnal swings in temperature resulted in yield well down on average. The threat of sub tropical cyclones around harvest never eventuated with very dry conditions allowing fruit to be harvested at optimal maturity.
