VARIETIES
There are hundreds of varieties world-wide. They vary
in colour, shape and flavour. Some are eaten green.
Kensington Pride (KP) is the most widely grown
variety in Australia. It is also known as Bowen or
Browns. Australians prefer the flavour and eating
qualities of KP.
In NSW they mature from late January through to
April depending on location. The fruit has a low fibre
content and ripens to a bright yellow skin colour with
varying degrees of red blush on the shoulders.
KP is a polyembryonic variety—the seed has multiple
embryos and produces several seedlings true to type so
grafting of trees is not essential.
