Boulevarde
Nurseries Mildura is a Wholesale Production Plant Nursery located
in Irymple just south of Mildura in North-West Victoria in the
Sunraysia Region.
The nursery specialises in grapevines, along with citrus, avocado
and olive trees. Small quantities of pistachio, kiwi fruit and
passion fruit are also produced. The majority of commercial crops
are budded or grafted but most of the olives are grown from cuttings.
Grapevines are the major line with production presently about
600,000 per year. In addition, Boulevarde Nurseries produce a
selected range of ornamentals including Zantedeschia (Calla Lily),
chrysanthemum, hydrangea and miniature roses.
The majority of grapevines are still propagated by the traditional
method of bench grafting hardwood cuttings of root-stocks and
scion varieties. However Boulevarde have pioneered in Australia
the new and innovative method of green micro-grafting that was
originally developed in France. |
