Edward Vinson Ltd. is based in the South East of England and has been growing fruit for over 150 years. The company consists of three main departments: Breeding, Propagation, and Commercial field production. Although strawberries were the sole target of the breeding program when initiated in 1986, the company has since developed strong raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry programmes. All four of these crops are being bred for an improved eating experience for consumers, as well as for optimised grower traits. The breeding department at Edward Vinson consists of a core team, with additional seasonal support.
