From these results, it can be discerned that (i) a group of five hybrids ('Vittorio', 'Eros', and 'Franco' =Italian), and ('UC-157' and 'Early-California' =USA) were high performing for all three productivity measures (TFCP-LSFCP-SSFCP); (ii) an additional hybrid, 'Patrón', gave high spear number for all three measures (TCSN-LCSN-SCSN); (iii) the hybrids varied considerably in their calibre distribution; and (iv) the hybrids provided a range of different production options for existing and potential growers.
