Berries and Stone Fruit

Berries and stone fruit of outstanding quality thrive in South Tyrol’s low-mountain climate. This presents new and interesting prospects for mountain agriculture: these fruits provide a secondary source of income that helps ensure the economic survival of mountain farms. Prerequisites for success are varieties that are adapted to the climate and cultivation techniques that take into account the fundamental features of the surrounding environment.

• Testing of the suitability of berry and stone fruit varieties for low-mountain sites
• Research on the ideal combination of variety and rootstock; suitability for high-altitude cultivation
• Experimental trials with various cultivation techniques and methods of care
• Consulting on selecting fruit varieties and cultivation techniques
