From cane to dispatch

How Dogridge rootstock is raised at Motke, in the order it happens.

  1. 1

    Sourcing canes

    Dogridge canes are sourced and selected before the season's propagation begins.

  2. 2

    Callusing

    Cane sections spend about three weeks in callusing chambers until the base has callused all the way round: the tissue the roots grow from.

  3. 3

    Rooting

    Callused canes are planted in the propagation sheds and monitored while roots and shoots develop.

  4. 4

    Care and hardening

    Rooted plants are irrigated, cared for and hardened before they leave the shade.

  5. 5

    Dispatch

    Plants are sorted, counted and packed against confirmed orders and delivery dates.
