| Sol
Real has performed
particularly well in recent trials in the main season in the San Joaquin Valley and in
Central America. Thanks to a strong vine, the fruit
of this variety made good size (mostly 12's), were highly uniform with few culls, and
developed a strong net under hot temperatures typical of the main season.
The interiors of Sol Real's fruit were excellent with a
firm, dark orange flesh, tight cavities, and excellent sugars. Because of these qualities,
this variety continues to receive serious attention from shippers and packers. |
