WITH PASSION AND ENTHUSIASM FOR APPLES FOR NEARLY 70 YEARS

Home  Ι  About

At a glance

In 1955
Dr. J. Tupý and O. Louda founded our station

For almost 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
