Pinus cembra "online" transmission

The last weekend the Simanek Family went back again to the Alps, to Dachstein massiv and Stoderzinken area.

The Stoderzinken has a special role in the Cembra history.

In 1996 Franz Etzelstorfer was there first. He was going to discover brooms, as he tried to follow Gunther Horstmann's earlier discovery trails. This year he came back with 3 cembra brooms (Stoderzinken 1, 2 and 3). Next year he found further two brooms alone (Stoderzinken 4, 5).

Frantisek Borovec of Cesko joined to Franz in 1998, who found also 3 brooms (SToderzinken 6, 7 and 8).

In 2000 Franz found a new one there (Stoderzwerg)

As the brooms were growing in the next years, they became known for gardeners and collectors. After a decade in 2010 Zdenek Novak found the Stoderzinken 9, and finally last week the Simanek Family organized a discovery tour there.

The expedition became very successful, they found 3 new brooms in higher elevations.
