The sown trays are put in foil tunnels where the seeds germinate and make their first fast growth. When the plants are big enough, the foil will be removed from the tunnels, which will make the plants thicker and assure a very good hardening and root system. When the winter begins, the foil will be replaced upon the tunnels again, so the plants can survive the winter under perfect conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">When the plants have been in the foil tunnels long enough, the cell-grown plants are taken out of the trays and sorted out manually: only the good plants will be delivered. Most species are graded out starting from December: packed by hand and put into the freezer so they stay in a perfect condition till the moment our clients want to process them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- START UNITE GALLERY 1.7.62 -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id='unitegallery_9_2' class='unite-gallery'>\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Foil tunnels\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     src=\"\" data-image=\"https:\/\/www.douglasboomkwekerij.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Tunnels1-768x576.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     data-thumb=\"https:\/\/www.douglasboomkwekerij.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Tunnels1-300x225.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     title=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     style=\"display:none\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Packing\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     src=\"\" data-image=\"https:\/\/www.douglasboomkwekerij.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Inpakken-768x576.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     data-thumb=\"https:\/\/www.douglasboomkwekerij.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Inpakken-300x225.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     title=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     style=\"display:none\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Freezer\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     src=\"\" data-image=\"https:\/\/www.douglasboomkwekerij.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/februari-2013-021-768x576.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     data-thumb=\"https:\/\/www.douglasboomkwekerij.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/februari-2013-021-300x225.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     title=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     style=\"display:none\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t<!-- END UNITEGALLERY --><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">A part of our assortment is sown in the months January and February and grow in a heated greenhouse, to be delivered in May\/June of the same year. This is mostly done with species which they like to pot young (Cornus, Cytisus, Ulex and others) or when a client wants a shorter growing period in absence of a given specie (Fagus, Berberis and others). These plants are hardened off a few weeks before delivery, so that the plants won't&nbsp;get a plant shock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Big advantages of the plug cultivation:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">1.
