Lorberg Quality Plants
GmbH & Co. KG

Conifers

(eg. Pinus nigra ssp. nigra)

The request for hardy plants has considerably increased especially with the demand from Eastern Europe. In this context we would like to refer to a huge stock of about 800 high-quality Pinus nigra with circumferences up to 100 cm.

Instant hedging

Hedges are primarily used as screens, windbreaks, soundproofing, dust cover and for the presentation of boundaries. Instant hedges are chosen by planners when the function of a hedge must be assured immediately after planting.

Lorberg’s hedge elements with rootball or container are several times transplanted plants, characterized by a strong pruning over several years. Besides the classic hedge plants, e.g. Ligustrum vulgare, Carpinus betulus or Taxus baccata, we also offer box shaped specialties which are exclusive to Lorberg. Larix kaempferi, Parrotia persica or Pinus mugo “Rostrata” are among the treasures. Like all our hedge elements, they are available in different sizes.

Resista®-elms

The elm historico-cultural is one of the most valuable plants in Europe. In the last decade nearly a third of the total stock of elms has been destroyed by the elm disease.  Since the 1920s scientists have been searching for remedies and resistant species. The results of this research are highly resistant elms (Resista®-elms) which have been selected from their worldwide habitats especially with regard to vitality. Their habit, fast growth rate, beauty, modesty and adaptability are convincing.

Resista®-elms are solely grown and are therefore very vital and healthy.  Resista®-elms have been proving themselves in thousands of plantings throughout Europe for over 20 years. Under strong conditions the Biological Federal Institute in Darmstadt is continuously testing the resistance against the causative organism of the Dutch elm disease (Ophiostoma novo-ulmi).

Resista®-elm brands (New Horizon, Rebona, Regal) are trademarked and registered into the European or German list of species. Since 2003 every young tree is saved by an implanted with an identification chip. This way every Resista®-elm is secured with its individual identity. Resista®-elms are marketed and planted only by selected partners under approved quality standards. Lorberg nurseries is one of these partners.

Shapes

Special gardens call for special plants. Lorberg nurseries cultivate a selected assortment of exclusive shapes especially for architecturally designed gardens. Plants in nearly all geometrical shapes like cuboid, cone, pyramid, cube or ball, are formed for many years by our plant specialists. Our employees are known for their ability to turn planners’ project-related ideas and conceptions with especially designed plants into reality.
