Leucadendron Ayoba® Cherry Pearl™ (Leucadendron coniferum) ranges from green-gold on young heads to saturated cherry-red as the bracts mature, with a subtle silvery nap on the tips. Designed for B2B use across large-scale bouquets, mass-market retail floral lines, seasonal promotions, mixed protea assortments, and straight-line bunches. Native to South Africa; supplied locally grown by our farm partners in South Africa.

Quality & Handling

• All stems are cut at the correct maturity with consistent lengths, tight grading, and clean foliage. Bracts and cones are checked for uniform colour and integrity
• Field heat is removed immediately after harvest through cold-shock, and product is maintained under an unbroken cold-chain from farm to freight
• Vase life is typically 12–18 days, extended to 21 days when handled optimally; re-cut stems by 2–3 cm at a sharp angle, remove any foliage below the waterline, and place in clean buckets with fresh water or preservative solution
• Hydrate for at least 4–6 hours before onward distribution or display
• Not strongly ethylene-sensitive, but chronic exposure shortens vase life and reduces market quality
