Figure 46 shows the proportion of bearing <strong>and</strong> non-bearing table grape plantings in 2014 by<br />

The main non-bearing (less than three years old) plantings comprise 885 hectares of mid to late<br />
season red grapes. The 885 hectares of mid to late season red grapes are Crimson Seedless (865<br />
ha) <strong>and</strong> PBR varieties (20 ha) as shown in Figure 47.<br />
