Cuttings to hedges
- Genetic copies: We take cuttings from mature parent plants that are decades old. The selected branches carry the same genetic identity, to ensure a quality plant without genetic anomalies
- Incubated rooting: More complex than just planting cuttings in the ground. To ensure successful root growth, our skilled horticulturalists carefully incubate the cuttings under controlled growing conditions
- Nature hardened: Our hedging plants are grown outdoors, fully exposed to the elements, to foster robust and nature-tested plants. The cuttings undergo the same treatment until they reach the stage of readiness for you, our valued customers.
