The main centre of fruit breeding in Poland is the Research Institute of Pomology and Floriculture in Skierniewice. Breeding work began there almost 40 years ago. Minor breeding programs are also conducted by Agricultural Academies in Warsaw, Poznań and Lublin. The breeding objectives for almost all fruit crops are similar: adequate winter hardiness, resistance to serious diseases and/or pests, high productivity, good eating and processing quality. As a result of controlled hybridization and local selection, over 40 cultivars have been introduced and many advanced selections show enough promise to be named and released soon.
