Thursday, 11 February 2021, 10:25 am T&G Global has launched a new early ripening apple brand which will be one of the first New Zealand apples of the 2021 season to arrive in key Asian markets. T&G Global’s Poppi™ apple is a sweet flavoured, medium sized apple with a rich red colour. With its thin skin, crisp sweet flavour and stunning appearance, it’s the first variety to ripen on Hawke’s Bay trees, enabling an early entry of New Zealand apples in highly competitive Asian markets. “The Poppi™ brand name was developed as a nod to the distinctive red colour of the apple,” says Rachel Stotter,
