|-
| '''Kakariki''' || Very early || Large fruit; exceptionally sweet in the NZFGA description || Needs a pollinating partner in Tui's guide; Waimea places it approximately four weeks before Unique, an approximate regional comparison.<sup>[[#cite_note-1|[1]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-5|[5]]]</sup>
|-
| '''Anatoki''' || Extremely early || Good-sized, smooth fruit; sweet, mild flavor || Compact habit; reported about 2–3 weeks before Unique and described as needing a pollinating partner.<sup>[[#cite_note-1|[1]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup>
|-
| '''Unique''' || Very early || Medium to large fruit; rough skin in Waimea's description, with smooth, soft, juicy, mildly aromatic flesh; good keeping is reported || Most consistently self-fertile in the selection guidance and productive when young; a partner can still improve cropping. Upright to spreading with moderately weak branches.<sup>[[#cite_note-1|[1]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-5|[5]]]</sup>
|-
| '''Kaiteri''' || Early || Large, smooth fruit; crop starts before Unique and extends longer || Prolific, vigorous, and upright; described as needing a pollinating partner, so it suits a planting with an overlapping partner rather than a solitary tree. Bred by Roy Hart.<sup>[[#cite_note-1|[1]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup>
|-
| '''Pounamu''' || Early || Medium fruit; very dark green skin, aromatic rich flavor, and good storage are described || Upright to spreading with moderate vigor; an early dark-skinned option, with availability and protection status subject to change.<sup>[[#cite_note-1|[1]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-5|[5]]]</sup>
|-
| '''Apollo''' || Early-mid to mid/late, depending on source and region || Large, sweet fruit; smooth, thin-skinned, and oval in Tui's description, with some fruit uneven || Vigorous and upright to spreading; semi-self-fertile, but delicate fruit bruises easily. The differing season labels are a regional/source variation, not a settled universal date.<sup>[[#cite_note-1|[1]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-5|[5]]]</sup>
|-
| '''Kakapo''' || Mid-season || Medium to medium-large blocky-oval fruit; mild, sweet, refreshing flavor and good shelf life/storage are described || Open tree habit may ease picking; selection descriptions do not establish a cultivar-specific pollination claim.<sup>[[#cite_note-1|[1]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-5|[5]]]</sup>
|-
| '''Den’s Choice''' || Mid-season || Medium-large, very sweet, smooth, juicy fruit with mild aroma; good keeping is reported || A useful mid-season comparison; selection descriptions do not establish a specific pollination or habit advantage.<sup>[[#cite_note-1|[1]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup><sup id="cite_ref-6">[[#cite_note-6|[6]]]</sup>
|-
| '''Mammoth''' || Mid-late || Medium fruit; moderately soft and juicy with a somewhat grainy texture; empty internal locules are frequently noted in the NZFGA description || A pollinating partner can improve fruit size; Triumph is the commonly suggested partner. The locule observation is retained as a source description, not a universal defect claim.<sup>[[#cite_note-1|[1]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup>
|-
| '''Opal Star''' || Mid-season in Waimea material; late in NZFGA and Tui material || Medium to medium-large, smooth dark-green fruit with aromatic juicy flesh; good storage is reported || Compact, slow-growing, bushy habit suitable for a home garden or hedge; heavy crops may need thinning. Source descriptions conflict on relative season, and the thesis found longer cool-storage performance than Unique in its trial.<sup>[[#cite_note-1|[1]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-5|[5]]]</sup>
|-
| '''Triumph''' || Late || Medium to large oval fruit; firm skin, sharp or excellent flavor, juicy flesh that can be slightly gritty; good handling and storage are advantages || Strongly vigorous, especially when young; commonly used as a Mammoth partner, but it also benefits from a flowering partner.<sup>[[#cite_note-1|[1]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-5|[5]]]</sup>
|-
| '''Wiki Tu''' (Anilvinkoru) || Mid-late to late || Very large fruit, reported up to about 300 g; mild, meaty, firm flesh with good keeping and handling || Dwarf or slow-growing to about 2.5 m in the selection description, suitable for dense planting; partially self-fertile, so a nearby partner remains the safer choice. NZFGA and Waimea note that some fruit may have hollow locules.<sup>[[#cite_note-1|[1]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-5|[5]]]</sup>
