Global Plant Genetics (GPG) has extended its raspberry representation contract with James Hutton, allowing the company to exclusively offer three new raspberry varieties to growers based in Morocco and Tunisia. These include the two primocane varieties, Skye and Lewis, as well as the low-chill floricane type Glen Mor. Jamie Petchell, co-owner of the company, said: ”We are looking forward to moving these genetics into North Africa. “The crop is now well-established in both locations, but there is further room for expansion through the use of improved varieties. Skye is a genuine double-cropping raspberry with superb fruit quality characteristics that are maintained in both the spring and autumn harvest seasons.
