All trees are produced in the province of Verona. The Forcher tree nursery produces every year about 1.000.000 trees. We get our rootstocks from certified mother plants in the Netherlands. We are provided with grafts from diverse certified European institutes.

The next step is the grafting of rootstocks which is done with the help of a technically advanced planting machine
In the second year it is necessary to cut off the lower sprouts of young trees to a height of 65-70 cm.
A constant and sufficient irrigation is essential for the growth of young trees.
All rootstocks are grafted in the summertime (July-August).
The new technique of chip budding is used to do the grafting in summer. All shoots and leavesare cutoff of the stem to a height of 30 cm. (uniform sprouting of young trees in Spring)
The targeted treatment of top shoots induces the development of side shoots in young trees.
The target is a complete tree with very good lateral branching.
