TREE FRUIT VARIETY SHOWCASE
Willow Drive Nursery
adds to rootstock
program
Willow Drive Nursery is continuing
to expand its rootstock program to
meet the diversified demands of the
industry.
Rootstock production has always
been at the heart of Willow Drive
Nursery. We pride ourselves on our
forward-thinking approach to apple
rootstocks. Over many years, we have
made changes to how we establish our
stoolbeds. We have participated in
many test programs over the last 30
years, most notably our partnership
with the breeding program at
Cornell University.
We get to watch first-hand how
new varieties behave in the nursery
long before they are fully released
varieties. Our current production
methods and practices have allowed
us to grow the same number of
plants in a smaller space. With those
changes in stoolbed establishment
and varieties, we have found that we
have room to keep expanding.
Willow Drive Nursery outgrew the
50-plus year old rootstock storage and
grading facility with its antiquated
worker facilities many years ago.
With these two problems in mind,
Willow Drive Nursery drew up plans
for a state-of-the-art energy-saving
facility. Our new rootstock storage
and grading facility was built with
expansion in mind. We have almost
doubled our storage space and
included much-needed upgrades
for our worker facilities as well. The
care of our workers and our storage
techniques have resulted in healthier
roots ready to thrive in the field. We
also included a company store for
employees to purchase snacks and
items such as gloves, aprons,
glasses, etc.
Willow Drive Nursery is currently
working globally on many varieties
with other growers as well as creating
new ones that we follow yearly and
study. We are always happy to share
what we have learned to help you
make the best choices on varieties and
rootstocks and their combinations.
Please contact Tyson McCallum or
Jim Adams.
Willow Drive has launched a new
website with a customer portal.
Growers can now get online access to
past, current and future orders as well
as place order requests online as well
as check inventories.
