Based near Brussels, this unusual fruit tree nursery offers rare and adaptable trees and shrubs, propagated on-site or sourced from specialized partners. Profits support ongoing, self-funded research.

Plants are selected through scientific studies and expert input, tested in open fields, and the best varieties are offered to individuals and professionals. Trees can be reserved online or purchased during seasonal nursery visits.

A wide range of unique species—like persimmons, figs, nashis, and hardy citrus—are tested, and educational content is shared through articles and guides on fruit trees and growing systems.
