Bohemian Paradise Apples – The Station of Apple Breeding for Disease Resistance
08. 07. 2024
They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away – and we can’t help but agree. There aren’t many research facilities where you can enjoy the fruits of their labor right from the source. In this case, from their very own apple orchard. We find ourselves in Střížovice near Turnov at the Station of Apple Breeding for Disease Resistance, which is part of the Institute of Experimental Botany of the Czech Academy of Sciences.
