The LapÂpen tree nursÂery was estabÂlished in the LowÂer Rhine region in 1894 and today numÂbers among the top 5 tree nursÂeries in Europe. Whether open green spaces, greened buildÂings in urban areas, botanÂiÂcal garÂdens, priÂvate garÂdens or magÂnifÂiÂcent avenues in GerÂmany, France, SwitzerÂland, Great Britain, RusÂsia, Ukraine or the Benelux counÂtries – the trees that proÂvide air, shade and tranÂquilÂliÂty for peoÂple often origÂiÂnate from Lappen.
On 650 hectares of open land some 130 employÂees culÂtiÂvate around 300,000 trees. FurÂtherÂmore, hedges, shrubs, greenÂery and rosÂes are also offered. CusÂtomers are thereÂfore able to choose from up to 9,000 difÂferÂent high-qualÂiÂty plants: from avenue trees to soliÂtary trees, from shrubs and hand-formed plants to small bushÂes or large imposÂing trees.
RegÂuÂlar selecÂtion, transÂplantÂiÂng and prunÂing ensures that the shrubs are propÂerÂly preÂpared for growÂing quickÂly and susÂtainÂably after transÂplantÂiÂng them to their new location.
The LapÂpen tree nursÂery offers pubÂlic secÂtor cusÂtomers, landÂscape archiÂtects, garÂdenÂing and landÂscapÂing firms and ambiÂtious priÂvate indiÂvidÂuÂals a wide assortÂment of high-qualÂiÂty plants in traÂdiÂtionÂal or more modÂern shapes – either trained to strict geoÂmetÂriÂcal forms or indiÂvidÂuÂalÂly grown into a strikÂing habiÂtus. The tree nursÂery rounds off its assortÂment of plants with comÂmerÂcial goods that have been subÂjectÂed to strict qualÂiÂty conÂtrols. The well-known strengths of LapÂpen play a sigÂnifÂiÂcant role here: new trends and variÂeties, the logisÂtics conÂcept, the soil and the cliÂmate of the LowÂer Rhine region – as well as the resilience of the trees themselves.
