Genetic Consolidation and Climate Adaptation
The European plantation phase is preceded by structured botanical research.
Genetic Base
Approximately 5,000 plants cultivated under continental climate exposure.
Selection criteria:
- vegetative strength
- root architecture stability
- structural uniformity
- pruning recovery response
- leaf density
Climate Exposure
Field-tested under natural winter cycles.
Observed tolerance:
- frost events down to approximately −22°C
- full dormancy recovery
- preserved structural integrity
This confirms compatibility with Northern Italian conditions.
Laboratory Phase (2026)
Planned evaluations:
- active compound screening
- biochemical stability
- vegetative consistency
Purpose: identification of 1–2 elite genotypes.
Clonal Phase (2027)
- controlled in vitro multiplication
- genetic stabilization
- uniform batch preparation
- plantation-ready material
The European plantation phase will therefore be biologically consolidated.
The research structure ensures long-term productivity and climate resilience.
