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.

False holly (Burkwoodii)
The Schijnhulst burkwoodii, also known in Latin as Osmanthus x burkwoodii, is an elegant, evergreen hedge plant with glossy, dark green leaves and no sharp thorns, making it ideal for a child- and pet-friendly garden. In April and May, it adorns your hedge with small, white, wonderfully fragrant blossoms—which attract bees and butterflies.
Right now, the Schijnhulst burkwoodii is an incredibly popular plant. There are several reasons for this. This variety has a compact and dense growth habit, which quickly provides plenty of privacy in your garden. In addition, the plant is evergreen year-round, highly hardy, and requires very little maintenance.
The Schijnhulst (burkwoodii) grows about 20 to 40 cm per year. This species is ideal for a short hedge or as a spot planting, for example, under a tree or shrub. If you’re looking for a hedge that grows faster and needs to reach a greater height, you’re better off choosing a laurel variety. Laurel ‘Elly’ or Laurel ‘Novita’ would be better options in that case.
It is best to plant Schijnhulst burkwoodii in a location with full sun or partial shade. This plant also thrives best in a spot where the soil drains well.
If you want to create a neat hedge or a formal hedge, it's best to trim it twice a year. Do this in the spring (March through May) and in the fall (October or November).
