Our nurseries

Boomkwekerij ‘t Kempke specializes in growing avenue trees in containers. These trees are planted in special containers, giving them a strong and compact root lot. Also, by growing the trees in containers, they can be easily transported. In this way, the company supplies all of Europe with strong and healthy trees.

The nursery works closely with a dozen outdoor growers. For this reason, a wide range of trees is available at the company. 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

Nursery ‘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.

De pottenvelden van Bomenkwekerij ‘t Kempke zijn voorzien van de nieuwste innovaties op het gebied van tuinbouw. Zo is er een automatisch bewateringssysteem aangelegd, dat optimaal gebruikmaakt van regenwater, opgevangen door de omringende silo’s. Zo voegt het bedrijf een stukje duurzame bedrijfsvoering toe aan haar portfolio. Ook is de grond afgedekt met onkruidwerende doeken, zodat het onkruid niet in de potten terecht kan komen. Op deze manier kan het bedrijf duurzaam gekweekte en zeer gezonde bomen uit eigen kwekerij leveren.

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.

Nursery ‘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

Nursery ‘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.

Naast het toedienen van de juiste voeding, is ook het verzorgen van ruimte belangrijk. Op de containervelden hebben de bomen de ruimte om te groeien. Bovendien krijgen de bomen water wanneer ze dat nodig hebben, door het computergestuurde bewateringssysteem. Door het zorgvuldig toepassen van de juiste verzorging, weet Boomkwekerij ‘t Kempke haar zakelijke klanten keer op keer te verblijden met de allerbeste bomen voor een schappelijke prijs.

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?
