The minimum number of orchard trees per funding application is ten trees.

The orchard trees must meet the following three quality requirements:

• The high-stem fruit tree species must have a trunk height of generally 180 cm, but at least 140 cm.
• The apple, pear and cherry high-stem fruit trees must be grafted onto a seedling rootstock. Other fruit trees can also be grafted onto vigorous, vegetatively propagated rootstocks.
• The trees must be bare-rooted trees or root ball plants. Container plants are excluded from funding.

The above quality requirements must be confirmed by the tree nursery on the invoice or on a separate document.
