WE CELEBRATED 30 YEARS OF COLLABORATION WITH FLEUREN AND MINITREE

Home  Ι  News  Ι  Minitree visit

Only thanks to our partners can apple lovers enjoy fruits of our varieties. Back in the 1990s, we started our cooperation with the company Fruitnurseries J. Heines & Zn. B. V. (today Boomkwekerij Fleuren) and then began to breed columnar apple varieties. On 12 October 2023, we hosted four visitors from Fleuren's subsidiary Minitree and celebrated our long-time collaboration and Minitree's 12.5th anniversary of its founding. Together we recalled the important milestones, tasted some varieties and newselections and viewed the orchard and facilities of our breeding station in Střížovice.

All the best to Minitree and looking forward to our further cooperation!
