In Ambrolauri/Tlugi the trees are SECURITY OF ORIGIN AND DELIVERY found in pure stands and with a small altitude variation. Our collection of seed in Borjomi/Tadzrici takes place In general Borjomi/Tadzrici is known to have a good under strict control in well defined designated areas, with branch structure and good needle cover with low, forward our attendance under the whole harvest. The process is protruding needles and moderate vitality. organized in accordance with our certification system and is also subject to unbiased external control.
