It is expected that the project will provide knowledge about whether and to what extent the age of the mother plant has an impact on the intensity of flowering and whether higher temperatures and the timing of this in late summer-autumn have an impact on how many buds are induced to flower. It is expected that some of the indicated treatments will show a way towards being able to reduce flowering induction or damage the flowers so that the plant's energy will be more available for vegetative growth than for flowering and berry setting.

Similarly, a better understanding is expected of whether the age of the mother plant plays a role in the rooting percentage, and whether the quality of the cuttings and the extreme environment can interact in relation to the robustness of rooting percentages. The results regarding storage will show whether any damage to the cuttings has already occurred during storage or only occurs in the soil on the cutting bed. Finally, it is expected that a hot water treatment can be designed so that better rooting and greater growth can be achieved in the year of cutting and whether drying of the cutting can be inhibited by dipping the top end in wax.

The results from the trials in 2025 will be written together in a report with conclusions and preliminary recommendations (which will be followed up in year 2 of the project). Results will also be disseminated in 2 Gartnertidende articles. All results will be posted on this website immediately upon publication. The report and GT articles are expected to be published and ready before the end of 2025.
