TREES
Currently, the availability of pistachio plant material is a major obstacle for the industry and one of the main reason preventing its growth. To address this challenge, Anton Muller in partnership with Top Fruit has started a pistachio nursery to propagate Clone II rootstock budded with the varieties Shufrah, Ariyeh and Sirora. The male pollinators available will be Chriss and 15-3.
The first trees available for commercial orchard establishment are expected at earliest 2020 and at latest 2022. For small quantities of trees for pilot sites, or to express your interest and secure your trees in the future, please be in touch.
