Spindles and fans are a specific cultivation method in which plants are grown at a distance from one another and/or on a stake. This method of cultivation produces heavier, stronger, fan-shaped plants. At NL Plants, spindles and fans are used for professional applications, such as dense hedges and further cultivation by fellow growers into avenue trees.
What are spindles and springs?
Spillen and veren are plants that are intentionally given more space during cultivation. Thanks to this spacing and support on a stake, they develop a sturdy trunk, a well-branched crown, and a strong root ball.
This makes them suitable for applications where standard plant material does not provide sufficient load-bearing capacity or stability.
Why choose heavy-duty potted plants?
This cultivation method produces a sturdier plant that is better able to withstand processing, transport, and further growth.
For landscapers and gardeners, this means a higher chance of successful planting. For fellow growers, this provides a reliable foundation for further propagation.
Strong trunk and well-balanced structure
Suitable for dense hedges and structural planting
High risk of infection after planting
A reliable starting point for further cultivation
A professional image from the very beginning
These characteristics make spindles and springs ideally suited for specialized B2B applications.
Applications of spindles and springs
Pins and springs are used when quality, stability, and continued growth are key priorities. They are used in various professional applications within the horticulture sector.
Planting of dense hedges and green spaces
Project-based planting with immediate volume
Grown by fellow nursery growers into street trees
Deliveries to garden centers with a focus on quality
Large-scale European projects
Pins and springs for heavy hedges
Standard plants are often insufficient for dense hedges. Spiles and feathers offer a solution here thanks to their robust structure and strong root system. This results in a denser, more stable hedge that achieves a professional-looking finish more quickly.
Starting material for further propagation
Fellow nursery growers use spindles and branches as starting material for further propagation into street trees. The uniform growth and controlled origin ensure predictability in the subsequent process.
Under the supervision of NAKTuinbouw
