Our Company Information



Picea abies 'Nidiformis'



Beginnings are always humble: in 1982, we started with the purchase of 24 acres of fenced-off cow pasture in southern New Jersey. After much hard work we transformed this barbed wire grid into a rather nicely laid out container production nursery. In 1992, we purchased more land and added another 16 acres for production, display gardens and office area. In 2000 we designed another container area of about 20 acres which which is now into full production. We also started construction of 'Propicana' our state of the art propagation house which is roughly 21,000 sq.ft. designed and built by Verbakel and Bomkas, a greenhouse builder from The Netherlands.

Our specialty is growing some of the highest quality plants currently available in the industry. They include rare, miniature, slow-growing or just plain unique and difficult to find treasures. Almost all of them are asexually reproduced, by either cuttings or grafting, to keep the highly desirable characteristics that make these selections Genetically Superior CultivarsTM. We grow them in #1 - #10 sized containers for your customers convenience.

We have also made it our policy to travel and make contacts around the world to bring you some of the newest and finest introductions in the conifer world. We concentrate on plants sized for today's garden landscapes. These cultivars are slower growing and more suited to smaller better designed yards. They also need less maintenance for pruning and shaping. Most true dwarfs actually never need to be pruned or shaped and they will keep their form for many years to come.

We also have an excellent staff of friendly, courteous and knowledgeable people that can help you with any questions concerning plants which would be excellent candidates in your particular area. This might include hardiness, planting location, rate of growth, particular form, color, texture, and availability of a selected cultivar. Again we are very proud of these plants and would really like to show em' off . So if you are in the area, please call ahead and stop by for a tour of our facilities.
