Mother Plants

What are Mother Plants?

Mother plants are healthy, disease-free, and true-to-type trees maintained as the source for high-quality propagation material. These trees are used to obtain scion wood, cuttings, and other planting material for nursery and grafting purposes.

Mother plants are carefully maintained to preserve genetic purity, vigor, and uniformity in propagated plants. They play a crucial role in producing certified and reliable planting material for horticultural and commercial farming.

True-to-type Source

Ensures that propagated plants retain desirable characteristics of the parent tree.

Disease-Free Material

Reduces pest and disease transmission through clean planting sources.

Reliable Source for Nurseries

Acts as a dependable source for scions, cuttings, and grafts in commercial nurseries.
