Innovation
As well as innovation from our inhouse and partner breeders we work in other areas of horticultural development. For example: rooting woody plants from cuttings that, traditionally, are considered very difficult or impossible by utilising new techniques and treatments. And, developing, utilising and promoting beneficial soil bacterium in pot and field grown plants to improve vigour, uniformity, resilience and saleability while minimising losses. Such endeavours are typically supported by academia and employ the skills of our qualified staff.
