Saleable Plants in Pots
Although in the main winter season root ball plants and bare root stock is to the fore, there is always plenty of demand for pot grown plants. We offer a comprehensive range of potted material from the smallest 1.5L to the largest 35L and beyond. In particular, our De Kuil Hedging nursery majors on Specimen Evergreen Hedging in containers and an exciting new selection of purpose grown “Instant Hedging” Troughs. Our nursery Braspenning & Co specialises in ericaceous material suitable for acid soils; Rhododendrons and Azaleas, Magnolias, Camellias, Skimmias, and Pieris. They also produce a wide range of A-Z shrubs & conifers.
De Kuil’s pot production mirrors the range that they grow in root ball and these plants are the perfect option for late spring, summer and early autumn hedge planting. Taxus baccata (Yew), Prunus Rotundifolia (Cherry Laurel), Prunus lusitanica (Portuguese Laurel), Ilex aquifolium (Common Holly) and the ever popular Photinia Red Robin are the key products. These are available as top quality container grown plants up to 2m high and more. In addition more unusual subjects such as Eleaegnus ebbingii (Oleaster) and Osmanthus and Amelanchier (Snowy Mespilus) are also available.
Braspenning & Co is one of Holland’s leading Rhododendron and Skimmia growers. Customers can select from over 40 Rhodo varieties, including dwarfs and yakushimanums and a carefully selected range of Magnolias and Camellias. All their plants are garden centre quality and are delivered on CC trolleys. They can be supplied with high quality colour photo-labels as required. This range is regularly available in 2L, 3L, 7.5L & 10L. In recent seasons, particularly for high end landscape projects, their specimen sized material has been a big hit. Superbly budded hybrid and yakushimanum Rhododendrons in 20L, 30L, 40L and even 80L are in high demand!
While there is no doubt that planting hedges, particularly evergreen ones, from the open ground in winter is the traditional and most cost effective option, nowadays customers increasingly want the convenience and comfort of gardening in the spring. They also want instant results!
And De Kuil’s Instant Hedging Troughs are ideal for the purpose. They are perfect for both amenity and private garden work. They offer ready spaced well established hedging units that are easily transported and planted. They come in 1m lengths at two grades’ standard grade in 40L Troughs (30cm deep) and a heavier grade in 90L Troughs (40cm deep). The heights of these thick bushy prepared hedging units range from 50cm Buxus to evergreens such as Taxus and Photinia at 180 cm.
