Rootstocks

Rootstocks for small fruit trees

Our brand universe

Choosing the right rootstock is crucial to the success of fruit cultivation. At CDB, we offer a diverse range of rootstocks that have been specially developed for small fruit trees. Our rootstocks are characterized by their outstanding properties and are used in various fruit crops.

One of the most important functions of the rootstock is to control the size of the tree. By carefully selecting the rootstock variety, we can ensure that your fruit trees reach the desired size. The rootstock also plays a key role in determining the time when the tree starts fruiting, allowing it to adapt to different climatic conditions and locations.


Our rootstocks have been developed to create an optimal connection between rootstock and scion, resulting in a robust and resistant tree structure. Special care is taken to ensure that varietal characteristics such as fruit color, ripening time and taste are not negatively affected. In this way, you can grow high-quality fruit trees with the desired fruit and characteristics.
