tree nursery specialized in plants with character
large-sized hedges
multi-stem solitary trees and standard trees
tightly trimmed shapes
For over 30 years, Solitair has been an expert in cultivating standalone plants. Founded as a small nursery with hedgerows and trees trimmed into specific shapes, Solitair now is a trendsetter in its branch. Our nursery boasts standard trees, in the most diverse shapes and sizes, grown on over 100 hectares of plots. They find their way into magnificent landscape projects throughout Europe. The passion of founder Dirk Cools and the commitment of the enthusiastic Solitair team provide the ideal seedbed for Solitair to constantly grow and flourish.

After all, they have the equipment to get your plants in the ground, and the insight and expertise to position them for best effect.
