About BLOOMZ New Zealand

The people, the accreditations, the history.

BLOOMZ is a small Tauranga company that has done this for decades. Who you deal with, what we are accredited for, and where the business came from.

Where the business came from

From ornamental breeding to the world’s food crops.

BLOOMZ started in ornamental breeding — calla lily, and active mānuka for honey and oil. The business today is the import, propagation and protection of plant material for the major horticultural crops: pipfruit, stonefruit, grapes, berries and citrus.

Same people, decades of it, based in Tauranga, working with breeders, nurseries and marketers worldwide.
