exclusiveThe varieties come from the Edward Vinson breeding programme and were released in 2008.  Never before in the history of the programme have single seedlings been progressed to such significant commercial volumes. In 2010 these new superior Everbearer varieties represented approximately 70% and by 2011 will represent nearly 100% of the Everbearers grown by BerryWorld growers in the UK.

vivapatricia

exclusiveViva Patricia is the first release from the Mediterranean programme and is exclusive to BerryWorld growers until the 2012 season.  This new variety is now being grown commercially in Spain and Morocco as well as being trialled in Egypt. 

Viva Patricia is a mainstream strawberry variety which has good flavour, an attractive heart shape and low propensity to ‘white shoulder’ which is often a problem associated with Spanish strawberries. The berries have high brix (sugar) levels and an eating experience more like British berries rather than being extremely firm like many other offers from Spain.

Now being grown commercially worldwide including Mexico, Chile, Spain and Morocco as well as the UK.  This variety is exclusive to BerryWorld growers.

blackberries

Mac Black is an unusual looking raspberry, which is black in colour.  Mac Black was available in summer 2010 for the first time in small commercial volumes in mid- late summer.  These raspberries are a separate species to the red raspberry, and were originally bred in the USA.  Mac Black is now being grown in the UK, and the berries have been found to be very high in antioxidants.
