Our plants are propagated as cuttings and then grow into strong quality planting material in the open ground. Our aim is to get as much branching and vitality in the plant as possible. The strength of our plants is a great benefit to our customers. The healthy rooting of our plants form a solid foundation and the amount of buds on the branch completes the shrub for you.
We believe that caring for our environment is also our responsibility. In our tree nursery we make business decisions from the heart, working with nature is our passion. We would like to refer you to the Verpaalen in Society website for our sustainable activities.
Verpaalen’s plants enjoys an healthy soil. Among other things, we opt for a mechanical approach to weeds, which greatly limits the use of herbicides. By carrying out non-inversion tillage and rotating green manures on our plots, a rich soil life is present. After all, the soil is the basis of the quality of planting material achieved.

Nightfall stands out with dark purple foliage and an impressive display of colors in the fall. This dark Cornus has dark green leaves in the spring, which become darker throughout the year.
