Posted by Markus Kobelt | 2011-12-06

We made a short documentary about the whole process of breeding a new apple variety, splitted in 10 video parts.

Part Six:
Here you see one of our greenhouse, where we grow the seedling as fast as possible to produce scions for our winter grafting. Before we cultivated these trees here in a pot, every variety was inoculated with scab to test and find out the resistant varieties
