Characteristics:
Co-obtained by INRA, Registered plant
This multiclonal range has been selected for its resistance to Coryneum cardinale (Coryneum canker) and also for its growth which is ideal for Mediterranean hedges.
'Antain', 'Antina', 'Anthos' and 'Arthur' are the result of selection work carried out by INRA, Antibes and 'Agrimed 1' and is a jointly registered by INRA, CNR (Italy) and FRI (Greece).

Untrained, the plants in the MISTRAL ® Range can attain a height of 25 - 30 m. The growth is mostly semi-horizontal and upright, with a low wind-resistance. 'Agrimed 1' is compact and regular.

The choice of several clones in a hedge gives a consistent look, a slight variation in the foliage, a better resistance to parasites and in the case of infection; it avoids the rapid spread which can occur with a single variety hedge.

Uses:
This group of plants can grow in any type of soil, even poor, except for suffocating soil. Grafting onto seed grown Cupressus sempervirens gives perfect growth in dry conditions and acid soil.
Ideal for windbreaks in natural areas, or for hedges, the five clones in the MISTRAL ® Range should be mixed for the best effectiveness.
