Rootstock

First Steps

Choosing the right rootstock in addition varieties are very important steps to be taken prior to planting. The rootstock determines the future of the orchard! The characteristics of the rootstock, its suitability for a given soil, and its sensitivity/ resistance to disease and pests are of utmost significance. Occasionally, new varieties developed around the world are introduced, with the aim of achieving new aims and providing solutions previously unavailable.
