For example, at Boomkwekerij ‘t Kempke you will find 150 species of trees of different heights and in different species. So are you looking for a large or small tree, a thick or thin stem, spherical or flat, roof shape or Espalier form? Boomkwekerij ‘t Kempke always grows and delivers the tree you want.
Potting Field
Boomkwekerij ‘t Kempke is one of the most progressive nurseries in Europe. This nursery makes optimal use of the available growing space by carefully arranging the trees in the so-called pot fields. In these fields, trees are both grown and stored, before being transported to the customer.
The potted fields of Tree Nursery ‘t Kempke are equipped with the latest innovations in horticulture. For example, an automatic watering system has been installed that makes optimal use of rainwater, collected by the surrounding silos. In this way, the company adds a piece of sustainable management to its portfolio. The soil is also covered with weed-resistant cloths, preventing weeds from entering the pots. This allows the company to supply sustainably grown and very healthy trees from its own nursery.
Potting machine
Another technique that should certainly be mentioned is the highly innovative potting machine used by Boomkwekerij ‘t Kempke. The robot can pot up to 6,000 trees per week and thus takes over much of the heavy labor that horticulturists have to deal with on a regular basis.
Boomkwekerij ‘t Kempke’s potting machine drastically reduces labor intensity and allows the nursery to remain in operation day and night. By making use of this new innovation in the field of horticulture, the company assures itself of a good future and can continue to grow.
Care
Boomkwekerij ‘t Kempke attaches great importance to delivering high-quality and healthy trees. Therefore, the company applies a unique care, which allows the trees to grow up strong and free of diseases. For example, the nursery uses a potting soil mixture that contains osmocote plus. This fertilizer gives the tree the desired nutrition in a dosed manner for the first 9-12 months after potting, which also keeps the product visually appealing in your garden center or wholesaler.
In addition to administering proper nutrition, providing space is also important. In the container fields, the trees have room to grow. Moreover, the trees get water when they need it, through the computer-controlled watering system. By carefully applying the right care, Boomkwekerij ‘t Kempke manages to delight its business customers time and again with the very best trees at a reasonable price.
Ready to sell
Trees that are visually appealing are obviously important to the garden centers, wholesalers and gardeners who purchase the company’s products. But the company offers more than just high-quality products. For example, the trees from the nursery are sales-ready. This means that the trees are labeled, barcoded, planted and cared for.
In addition, it is possible to have your own logo, sales price and barcode printed on the labels. This allows you to put the trees in your store or directly in the customer’s garden immediately after transport. Are you curious about what Boomkwekerij ‘t Kempke has to offer?
