Why tissue culture

Tissue culture, also called micropropagation, grows new plants from a tiny piece of a parent plant in a sterile, nutrient-rich gel. Because every plantlet comes from the same mother tree, each one carries the same genetics.

• True to type. Uniform growth and form across the whole planting.
• Clean start. Plants begin free of soil pests and pathogens, and each lot is screened before release.
• Faster establishment. Vigorous, well-rooted, hardened plants that establish quickly when planted and cared for properly.
• Scale. Production does not depend on seed years or stock-tree size.
