Canterbury has been pinpointed as a prime apple growing location by a grower looking to expand. 

Turners and Growers is opening up its commercial apple growing endeavours to the region, committing to 125 hectares thanks to an agreement with the New Zealand Superannuation Fund.  

Chief Operating Officer Shane Kingston says they believe it's important to adapt and build resilience by growing varieties in different climates. 

He told Mike Hosking Canterbury has excellent opportunities with its flat land, fertile soil, and reliable water sources.
