Hot days. Cool nights. An Alpine-Mediterranean climate and Alpine mountain ridges. For decades, they have made South Tyrol the apple grove of Europe. The fathers of our grandfathers were aware of this. With short spaces between trees, special pruning techniques and drip irrigation systems, our fathers made the apple orchards more productive.
And they knew how to protect them against frost and pests. They liked the thought that all of this could function completely and exclusively in harmony with nature, entirely without synthetic plant protection. The thought took root, ripened and grew into a fixed idea.
