Green seedless
VARIETIES WE ARE CURRENTLY SHIPPING
Ivory, Sugraone (Mexico)
VARIETIES WE WILL BE SHIPPING SOON
Sugraone, Ivory, Timpson, Sweet Globe (Mexico)
OUR OUTLOOK
With Early Sweets mostly finishing, green grapes have begun transitioning into Sugraones and proprietary types such as Ivory and Sweet Globes. The Sugraone harvest is lighter than in previous seasons, so the “peak” of the deal won’t be as heavy as we are accustomed to seeing. Proprietary-type green seedless will peak in mid to late June..
