Grahame Bayliss’s Hayward crop

Grahame Bayliss (right) shows some of his 1964 crops of Hayward kiwifruit to fruit marketer Stan Conway. Bayliss was one of the first growers to see the commercial possibilities of the Hayward variety of kiwifruit. In 1947 he planted 9.6 hectares of Haywards at No. 3 Road, Te Puke, and developed pruning and training techniques for this variety.
