Tree Breeding

The tree breeding sector is very diverse. As in other sectors the increase in production scale is an ongoing process. Large, strong and specialised companies are putting their efforts in organising sales to gardening centres, D.I.Y. shops, and retail networks. Other companies have specialised themselves in the production of starting material. Mechanisation and optimisation of the cultivation is necessary to keep control over the cost price.

The Team Tree Breeding and Perennials of DLV Plant consists of 16 advisors and 3 employees for back office support. The advisors provide guidance and support to nurseries all over the Netherlands in the cultivation of tree products and of perennials.
