In touch with tomorrow’s fruit
Proprietary Variety Management (PVM) was founded with the purpose of helping each fruit variety reach its fullest market potential, benefiting everyone in the value chain, from breeders and growers, to retailers and consumers. Our mission is to lead the fruit industry into the future. We do this through a consumer-centric approach which brings the best trees and best fruit forward that customers want.



We understand the grower
Specializing in apple, pear, and cherry fruit trees (as well as being involved with all soft fruits), Brandt’s Fruit Trees is more than a fruit tree nursery. Having roots in the nursery business since 1956 and incorporating under its own name in 1993, Brandt’s Fruit Trees has been a resource for the grower for decades. Those in the fruit tree nursery business must understand the grower’s needs and be ever aware of changes that can bring them better value.
Working together with breeders from around the world through their international connections, Brandt’s Fruit Trees is dedicated to providing varieties that will meet the needs of the grower and the fruit buyer.
