A trial conducted by Güizzo Frutas Frescas S.A. in Jujuy, Argentina, in partnership with Dr. Viviana Curzel and producer Oscar Machuca, has led to the first harvest of stone fruits, including the Royal Lee variety, several weeks earlier than usual, on September 24. The trial, which started in 2022, is focused on early production varieties of cherries, peaches, nectarines, and plums, and is aimed at advancing the harvest window in northern Mendoza from weeks 42/43 to weeks 39/40. The results show promise for achieving harvests as late as the last week of September, given the region's optimal conditions for ultra-early stone fruit production and its unique climate. The research also highlights the potential of new genetic developments of cherries with low cold requirements, such as those from the Bloom Fresh, SMS, and Zaiger genetic programs, for adaptation in the region. Future challenges include optimizing agronomic management and identifying more adaptable varieties for the area.

Through a trial being carried out in the province of Jujuy, led by the Mendoza company Güizzo Frutas Frescas S.A., Dr. Viviana Curzel, researcher and specialist technician in stone fruit with low chilling hour requirements (CIF Jujuy-FCA UNJu), and Oscar Machuca, producer of extra-premium stone fruit in the region, obtained the first results of fruit to harvest on September 24. This is a blow to the chair, since it was several weeks ahead of the earliest cherry productions, which are disputed by Güizzo in Mendoza (Argentina) and the fields in Ovalle (Coquimbo, Chile), which focus their efforts on harvesting around week 42, in mid-October. The study focuses on a young experimental block of 2,000 cherry trees of different early production varieties. Traditional cultivars such as Brooks and Lapins are included, but also licensed varieties such as Zaiger (Royal), as well as Nimba and Pacific Red. In fact, the Royal Lee variety (from the Zaiger genetic program) was the first to be ...
