#147 Apple breeding part 7 of 10 - How to produce one year old trees

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 Seven:
Here you see our breeding field, where we grow the one year old seedlings. Every seedling has M9 as a rootstock, a very slow growing rootstock which guarantees a very early first crop already in the 3rd year. Perfect for home gardens.
