In 1955
Dr. Jaroslav Tupý and Otto Louda founded our station

 

For over 60 years (since 1965) we've been breeding apples resistant to scab

 

Our portfolio includes dessert, columnar, ornamental and red-fleshed apple varieties

 
 

About 1.3 mil. trees of our varieties are sold worldwide on average per year

 

Topaz and Red Topaz
are the most grown apple varieties resistant to scab in organic production in Europe in the last two decades

 

In 2015
 Opal® apples were sent up to the International Space Station
