ENVY in test plantings: The new ENZA variety is not designed to replace earlier releases

摘要

Envy, the latest ENZA apple variety from New Zealand, will go into commercial plantings in Washington State in 2010. The cul-tivar, known as Scilate, was developed by HortResearch. Envy is its brand name. Test trees are already in the ground throughout Washington's apple-growing region, said Rick Derrey, ENZA coordinator for North America. Trees for commercial plantings are being propagated at Willow Drive Nursery in Ephrata, Washington, for planting in 2010. The first commercial Envy plantings in New Zealand will go in the ground a year earlier. ENZA is planning for a year-round supply by having production in both hemispheres.
