Launch of the New BRAVO™ Apple
A new firm and juicy WA- developed apple has hit
the shop shelves after 20 years of breeding and
testing by the Department of Agriculture and Food
Western Australia (DAFWA) and were quickly
bought up by consumers eager for a new taste
experience.
The apple has a distinct sweetness and a moderate to high
crisp and crunch factor, and was first previewed by growers
and potential consumers in 2010.
The trees are now available for growing Australia-wide. The
commercial agreements have been signed and industry body
Fruit West Co-operative Ltd is managing the commercialisation
of the variety.
The apple is grower friendly because the tree is productive, the
fruit colours easily and the apples stand out from existing
varieties on shop shelves.
