Botany / Obstbau
German term or phrase: Muttergarten
I'm translating a short description about a company that grows apples.

Für 2013 ist weiters die Aufstockung des Unterlagen-Muttergartens auf weitere 6 ha geplant.

I am guessing that the Muttergarten corresponds to the main orchard/cultivation area for the rootstocks but I am not 100% sure. Could somebody confirm this or offer further help? Thanks in advance!

rootstock garden


Explanation:
Compared to gardens grown on their own roots which can start yielding in one-and-a-half year, therootstock gardens take 6-8 months more since they have to be first planted in the field and then grafted with suitable scion variety after 6 months.

IOW, the source term Unterlagen-Muttergarden needs to be translated in its entirety.

parent plant nursery


Explanation:
A very common translation for "Mutterpflanze" is also "parent plant". That is the reason why I would suggest Parent Plant nursery which implies all plants that serve as ancestors for the following generations.

Example sentence(s):
  • The only way to get new stock is from roots that have been split from a parent plant,
