In November 2005 APFIP ceased operations at the Monash site in South Australia. Production of APFIP certified rootstocks is now being licensed to commercial nurseries (see approved users under the Certification tab).

APFIP has established a new repository for its certified varieties and rootstocks near Cambridge in southern Tasmania. This site is in the Coal River Valley with access to ample supplies of water and is isolated from pome fruit production areas. The climate is much less stressful for the plants than the former Monash site and we expect to be able to more reliably assess the fruit qualities of our heat treated varieties and rootstocks here.

APFIP will again offer rootstocks for sale from 2008 from the Tasmania repository site but only in limited quantities. All the rootstocks produced in the future will be certified. APFIP has relocated all its specialised rootstock production and harvesting equipment to Tasmania.
