Gruber Genetti Delivers Different Kinds of Quality
The latest breeds and best clones from the South Tyrolean nursery
Based on their properties, our saplings are sorted and classified in different quality categories. By doing so, we can guarantee that all trees of the same quality category have the same attributes when they are delivered.
We label our best trees with our protected Maxi Knip Quality Mark. You can therefore be sure that you are buying a supremely cultivated tree with the best prospects of a high yield.
