Young Plants Holland: quality as a fixed value in cutting production

At Young Plants Holland, quality and reliability are at the heart of everything they do. Led by Stijn van der Loo, the company produces a wide range of young plants for growers across Europe. ‘We aim for consistent quality and only supply varieties that have proven themselves in practice,’ says Van der Loo. ‘Our customers must be able to rely on strong root systems and uniform growth – that’s the foundation of our business.’
Young Plants Holland specialises in propagation for tree nurseries, perennial growers and ornamental plant producers. All cultivation takes place under controlled conditions, where climate, light and humidity are carefully adjusted for each crop. ‘We use modern techniques, but it’s still about craftsmanship,’ Van der Loo explains. ‘Every batch is visually checked before it leaves our nursery.’
The assortment includes both well-known classics and licensed varieties. Trusted names such as **Prunus laurocerasus ‘Novita’**, **Spiraea japonica ‘Little Princess’** and **Buddleja ‘Little Ruby’** form the backbone of the range. At the same time, demand is increasing for compact, hardy and high-ornamental varieties like **Potentilla fruticosa ‘Bellissima’**. ‘We closely follow market trends,’ says Van der Loo. ‘New varieties are only introduced once they’ve proven themselves in production and sales.’
Logistics and customer service are also key strengths. Orders are carefully scheduled to match the planting season, ensuring every delivery arrives right on time. ‘Many of our clients work with precise planning,’ Van der Loo says. ‘We make sure our material is ready exactly when they need it.’
The company supplies growers across Europe – from the Netherlands to Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. ‘Each market has its own preferences,’ Van der Loo notes. ‘But the foundation remains the same: strong, uniform cuttings. That’s where we stand out, and that’s what we’ll continue to focus on.’
At **GrootGroenPlus**, Young Plants Holland presents its current assortment and latest introductions. ‘The fair is the perfect opportunity to meet our clients and connect with new partners,’ says Van der Loo. ‘The demand for reliable starting material is higher than ever, and that confirms our focus: craftsmanship and quality, year after year.’
