Super beautiful plants that more than lived up to what was promised on the website—they were both taller and more beautiful. Superb customer service with quick answers to questions. Fast delivery of the plants to Denmark (don't be afraid to make a bank transfer—you won't get scammed here). The plants are growing fantastically
Thanks, Stan

We’re very pleased with this nursery! We received a beautiful proprietary variety: the Laurier ‘Elly’. The plants were of good quality, nice and full, and healthy. You can tell right away that they’re grown with a great deal of expertise and care.
In addition, the service was friendly and professional. Everything was delivered neatly, and they kept their promises. We are very happy with the results in our garden and can definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for high-quality plants and expert advice.

Picked up 20 plants from Stan this afternoon. Beautiful specimens in C3 pots. Communication with Stan was GREAT. He called me right back yesterday. I was able to pick them up today, and at a really good price. Stan is a friendly guy who gives you great advice right away.

The Laurier ‘Elly’ is a special hedge plant to me. It was discovered at my parents’ nursery in Ottersum and is named after my mother.
This variety of laurel was discovered during a harsh winter. While other laurel cuttings froze to death, the “Elly” proved to be an extremely hardy variety under freezing conditions. To this day, the “Elly” laurel remains one of the hardiest varieties of laurel available.
In addition to being extremely hardy, professional nurseries have increasingly noticed in recent years that “Elly” easily resumes growth after periods of prolonged drought. This is another important advantage of this hedge plant.
As far as we’re concerned, a “Elly” laurel hedge is ideal! Not only can this plant handle a variety of weather conditions, but this variety also has a beautiful growth habit. “Elly” grows narrowly and compactly upward. This ensures that your laurel hedge won’t get too wide. .
The leaves of the “Elly” closely resemble those of the Laurier “Caucasica.” However, given the characteristics of the “Elly” mentioned above, you can actually consider this variety an improved version of the “Caucasica.”
At the nursery in Ottersum, we’re very proud of this plant. It’s no wonder it’s my favorite! Hopefully, you’ll enjoy the characteristics and appearance of the Laurier ‘Elly’ just as much as we do.
