Breeding & Innovation

Progress is our mission.

New apple varieties are constantly selected in our breeding program. The development of a new variety takes several years.

For over 15 years, Griba has managed its own breeding program. Starting from 20,000 seedlings per year, we select the best new varieties presented and developed together with interested partners.

Our breeding goals

Easy Management
Scab resistence and tolerance
Stable yields
Tolerances to powdery mildew and emerging pathogens
Cultivation adaptability in diffrent hot environments

The Griba Breeding Programm

Early ripening and refreshing, harvesting time 20 days before Gala

Crisp and Scab Resistant, early-medium harvesting time, 15 days after Gala

Attractive and tasty, medium harvesting time, 7 days after Golden

Aromatic and Highly Productive, late harvesting time, 15 days after Fuji

We develop new varieties with these characteristics:

  • BALANCED SWEETNESS / ACIDITY
  • CRUNCHINESS AND MODERN TEXTURE
  • GOOD JUICINESS
  • TASTY
  • NICE COLOURING AND APPEARANCE
  • EASY TO STORE

Nature creates so many varieties of apples, it is in our hands to find the best ones.
