Plants and nurseries
Produced plants
The geographical position of Pistoia is particularly suitable for the quick growth of outdoor plants: the Apennines protects it from the cold winds from the north and at the same time is a source of abundant water. Pistoia is situated in a floodplain whose soil is unique: clay and loose at the same time, perfect for the root growth.
All these things make possible the cultivation in our nurseries of a lot of species and kinds of plants ready to be planted in gardens at the seaside, in the plains or in the mountains.
In the 5 production nurseries, situated in different areas of the Pistoia plain, we apply cultivation techniques suitable for each species: some plants are cultivated in the ground with the traditional nursery techniques, other ones are cultivated in container and in Airplant so that they are avai-lable very soon and ensure strong root systems.

To make plants cultivated in the ground available to transplantation throughout the year, we apply the Plant-Plast technique. In this way the root ball is protected stimulating the production of capillary roots: this is an additional guarantee we offer to our customers.
