Species: Hybrid of betulifolia.

Lavi Rootstock was discovered by professor Rafi Stern and was evaluated and studied for 10 years.

Lavi rootstock found to be the most efficient consistently in every year of the evaluation as in the origin mother tree.

Best performance due to the better water-transport capability(Midday stem water potentials (MPa))*.

Highest yields*.

Strong tree with balanced vigor at older age*.

Biggest fruit size*.

Excels under stress and extreme temperatures*.

Agronomic characteristics

Vigour: medium- high, with a well-developed root system.
Compatibility: Good with European pears and Asian pears, very good experience with coscia.

Yield: Very productive.
Size: Produces very big  size fruit.
Adaptability: It adapts very well to all climates, but especially to warm conditions (low chilling area), adapts well to all soils.
Other features: High water potential and tolerances to stress. High tolerance to the deficit irrigation. High salinity tolerance.

Resistances and tolerances

Chlorosis: Highly tolerant.

Psilla : Highly tolerant for some grafted varieties.
Salinity: High salinity tolerance.
Pear decline: Unknown but probably resistant.

Fireblight: highly resistant.

What a great quiet show, in one of the most beautiful places on earth. The apple fair was a place to exhibit apples and pears and taste the greatest apples and pears in the world in the most famous apple growing location. Eden triumphed all.

Thank you or all our partners who attended the fair. It is grat to develop togeter and build amzaing project all around the world.

The pear of the future with a heavenly flavor A new variety of Israeli pear called ‘Eden’

A new pear variety has been developed for 12 years in “Ben Dor Nurseries” at Yesod HaMaala and is called “Eden”

Farmers will grow Israeli summer fruits in South America and Australia so that the summer fruits of our country will continue to star on the shelves in Europe

As soon as you taste the apricots, plums and nectarines that grow in the orchards of the Ben Dor family in Yesod HaMaala, you will be struck by a flashback to the days when these fruits tasted good

Is it possible to sell fruits and vegetables as a brand and not just as a basic consumer product?

Why the largest exporter in the field decided to stop exporting

Watermelon-flavored plum, pita-shaped peach and mango-flavored nectarine
