Growing Practices
ENVY™ was born using natural plant-breeding methods, crossing between Braeburn with Royal Gala apples, we have taken full advantage of the best nature has to offer. The result is pure bliss, heightened enjoyment like no other.
A handpicked team of talented growers who simply fell in love after one bite have planted trees in prime growing locations, using world-class growing methods to deliver a superior apple from field to market.
Our growers in these quite rural communities share the same environmentally purposeful growing techniques that are the envy of our industry. Integrated Fruit Production, or IFP for short, but they would prefer to call it “common sense.” It’s a difference you can taste in our apples, no matter what end of the earth they come from.

In 2018, after years of growing a variety of produce, the Apatu Family planted their first apple crop with a focus on harnessing the very best intellectual property (IP) varieties and utilising innovative growing systems.
They have since grown to become the largest independent grower of ENVY™ in the region.

We are third generation orchardists here in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand and we have been growing ENVY™ for over 10 years now. We were one of the first ones to grow this beautiful fruit, and we take great pride and joy in continuing to grow ENVY™. Beautiful appearance with amazing sweetness and crunch, really makes this apple the best apple to eat and grow. Good fertile soil in the plains of Hawke’s Bay along with great climate and weather conditions, helps us to grow the perfect ENVY™ to be sent around the World.
