For ten years now, HELIOS producers have been cultivating peach and nectarine.

The choice in this species is to cultivate the ultra-early varieties, as the microclimate of the area is special and suitable for this choice.

Thus, the cultivation of peaches and nectarines has been developed in an area of ​​approximately 80 acres and it is estimated that all of these estates will come into full fruition in 2016 with a production volume that will range around 250-300 tons.

The harvest, under normal conditions, begins in the first week of May for peaches and is completed at the end of that month, while the nectarine harvest also takes place during the same period.
