Eucalyptus news
The demand for strong Eucalyptus varieties is increasing all the time. That is why we are working to propagate the strongest trees we have here from our own soil. In collaboration with several other nurseries, the first “Hardy Dutch” seedlings will be for sale in the course of July 2021. We can no longer rely on imports from Australia.
On the one hand, the EU is creating trade barriers, making seed imports far too expensive; on the other hand, climate change in Australia is causing a sharp decline in nature. See this alarming article in the Guardian!
Trachycarpus fortunei
Just arrived: good quality Trachycarpus fortunei, one of the most hardy palms for the garden. 40 cm trunk: €80, 80 cm trunk: €175.
Small seedlings are available from €5, 15 cm trunk €20.
Super-hardy oleanders in stock!
Nerium oleander ‘Atlas’ and ‘Italia’ will tolerate 15°C of frost, but should be situated in very sunny places in the garden, where exess rainwater will drain off quickly. Winter protection should be applied if medium to severe frosts are anticipated.
No postal sales, max 2 per client, pot size 11x11x17 cm (2 litre), great quality!
Real Gunnera manicata available!
For the time being we have only a few specimens of Gunnera manicata in 50 liter tubs at € 95 each. They are not tinctorias. If you have room for this colossal plant – try it!
