It affects our ability to be able to grow, pick and sell great eating local produce both for the locals and for our overseas buyers. Lets work together and make sure these flies are eradicated ASAP. Check out this great video by Department of Agriculture in Victoria, about the affects of Queensland Fruit Fly and how to manage its spread. https://youtu.be/5xhwjA5FbAM

19.01.2022 PSA - QFly is a major threat to our industry and many others. Please do the right thing, keep an eye out, dispose of infected fruit and contact @dpirdwa ASAP. We know lots of people have lemons and citrus in the backyards which are also prone to QFly infection. Be vigilant people, we thank you in advance. #QFly #eradication #DPIRD #horticulture #agriculture #biosecurity #Dalkeith #Nedlands #lemons #citrus #Perth #WA #thankyou

19.01.2022 Its devastating when the orchards get hit by hail, some of the fruit then doesn't meet the ''quality standards'' of the retailers making them harder to sell when really they are just as tasty and juicy as the rest.

16.01.2022 Full Bloom One of the prettiest times of the year with white and pink blossom throughout. The pollinators are out in force with some orchardists bringing in extra bee hives to help with the pollination efforts. Once the flowers are pollinated and fertilised they will begin the fruit development stages. Each flower has the capacity to produce one piece of fruit when it is pollinated. ... #fullbloom #blossom #pollination #stonefruit #bees #stonefruit #peach #nectarine #plum #cherry #westernaustralia #orchard #pretty

16.01.2022 Yellow Nectarines are coming in strong at the moment and with so many variety names such as August Fire, Honey Kist and Honey Diva, there is bound to be one a yellow nectarine you will love!

Our local season is slowing down but you can still get West Australian grown #peaches #nectarines and #plums. When you are next at the shops, going past a road side stall or visiting you farmers markets make sure you get some for your family and support our great food producers. They will thank you for it. Keep it healthy, hygienic and keep it local.

15.01.2022 What's better for the lunchbox than a fresh, healthy piece of stonefruit! There are a great range of plums in stores now, even some peach or nectarine sliced up will go down a treat. Stock up next time you are doing the school lunch boxes.

14.01.2022 Have you been wondering what these unique fruits are? A PLUOT, a mix of plum and apricot is the sweetest fruit on the market!

05.01.2022 Have you seen this fly? It is a Queensland Fruit Fly, aka Qfly, and is considered to be one of the most serious pests of fruit and vegetables here in WA. Adult Qfly are approximately 6-8 mm long, the middle segment is reddish-brown with yellow patches on the sides and back. The end segment is solid dark brown, legs are a bit lighter and the wings are clear. The fly's lay their eggs just below the surface of the skin on the fruit, then once hatched the larvae feeds on the fr...uit before falling to the ground to tunnel into the soil and turn into a pupae, the stage before it turns into a fly and the cycle starts again. The puncture mark where they lay the eggs leads to rotting and makes the fruit inedible for humans. The fruit needs to be disposed of correctly to break the cycle. When spending time at home and in the garden please keep an eye out and report any sighting to DPIRD. Our growers will thank you for it

05.01.2022 Feeling hungry? Why not head down to Mr Fresh at Carine Glades Shopping Centre tomorrow from 10am - 2pm to try some local stonefruit and say hi to Sonja.

02.01.2022 Before the rains came They may look like sad and sorry sticks at this time of year but this dormancy period is vital to their successful production in the summer. Stonefruit trees need a level of 'chill' during the winter months to trigger blossom in the spring and fruit in the summer. Chilly mornings in the Perth Hills and South West make these regions perfect for growing the best peaches, nectarines, apricots and plums. #Mondaynews #chill #summerfruit #perthwinter #gettingitdone #fruit #dormancy #agnews #horticulture #agriculture #chillunits #peachtrees

02.01.2022 The Southern Forests region grows a huge range of fresh produce and that doesn't exclude Stonefruit. The climatic differences across our vast state allows for us to supply fresh local peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots and cherries for an extended period of time over the summer and autumn months. WA really is the best

02.01.2022 Want a refreshing mocktail or cocktail for these Sunday afternoons? Try this fresh Peach Fizz to get your fresh thirst-quenching fix!

01.01.2022 These unprecedented times have caused havoc within our communities and economy. But agriculture is still functioning and though we have basically finished the stonefruit season there are still jobs available. Check out this new website dedicated to linking farming businesses with those seeking work -https://www.jobsinwafoodandag.com/ Jobs in WA Food & Ag. Lets all work together

01.01.2022 Are you in search of work or workers for the coming months. There are a few different places to look including Harvest Trail https://jobsearch.gov.au/harvest/search. With the current restrictions on the traditional horticulture labour force as they are often backpackers, its worth having a look sooner rather than later. #hort #labour #workers #workinginag #Stonefruit #westernaustralia #lookingforwork
