Van den Berk Nurseries is literally deeply rooted in the fertile soils of Midden-Brabant (Central Brabant). The company, located in Sint-Oedenrode, has been in existence for over 65 years and is engaged in the cultivation of avenue trees, conifers, topiary trees, rhododendrons and solitary trees and shrubs in large sizes.

Van den Berk’s production has expanded to 450 hectares, of which 330 are in the Netherlands and the remaining 120 hectares are spread across two locations in Germany. This makes them one of the larger tree nurseries in Europe. Our trees are shipped throughout Europe and even beyond. Customers include public authorities, semi-public authorities, landscape contracters and private individuals.

Van den Berk Facts: 


Discover the possibilities of evergreen trees
Trees that maintain their green colour during the winter have more to offer than most people think. With evergreen trees you create clear highlights in planted areas. For example, an image that appeals to everyone is the winter silhouette of deciduous trees with their green features.

Evergreen trees are also used to conceal less attractive backgrounds in both summer and winter. Trees as a screen, with tall trunks or as a hedge are extremely suitable for this. Furthermore, evergreen trees produce very little waste because they do not lose their foliage in the autumn. Think about these options for an upcoming project.

Deciduous trees and conifers that keep their green colour are worth considering! 


More possible with multi-trunk trees
Multi-trunk trees have several trunks that start at ground level. This gives them a whimsical and natural look. A beautiful effect is created by illuminating the plant with spotlights in the evening. This presents the characteristic silhouette even more dramatically.

Multi-trunk trees and shrubs are available in a great many types and sizes. Their application is also versatile: as solitary eye-catchers or in playful groups. Multi-trunk trees will invigorate your garden or project! 

Van den Berk Rhododendron GmbH, a subsidiary of Van den Berk Nurseries since 2006, is located in Ipwegermoor near Rastede, Northern Germany. Rhododendrons and azaleas of exceptional quality are produced here on the 50 hectare site. The assortment offered by the Van den Berk rhododendron nursery includes over 140 species of large-flowered rhododendrons, Yakushimanum Hybrids and azaleas. The plant sizes vary in height and width from 40 cm to 4 metres. This is the leading nursery in Europe with regard to quality, size and range of species offered. Large consignments for the planting of large surface areas or eye-catching solitary plants are both available in large quantities. 


Through years of training and/or pruning, espalier and topiary trees are shaped, for example, into natural umbrellas, screens or rigid cones. Topiary trees are truly unmissable in contemporary garden architecture. In many gardens, the different shapes enrich the pattern. They have many applications and are practically always suitable for a small garden. Below are a few notable facts about the origin and application of espalier and topiary trees.


Ancient texts on the art of gardening include references to the multitude of shapes of pruned trees and hedges known as topiari. They originated during the reign of Julius Caesar but only became famous when the book Hypnerotomachia Poliphili by Francesco Colonna containing illustrations of a topiary collection was published in 1499. He introduced fantasy shapes and animal and human figures to a wider public.

Practical tree shapes

Until the introduction of barbed wire, topiary trees were frequently used by farmers as livestock fences, land boundaries or sun shades. These were pruned wood walls, hedges and trained lime trees that provided shade in summer but hardly obstructed the light in winter. Trained lime trees are still exceptionally popular.

Decorative trained fruit trees

The training of fruit trees began many years ago due to practical considerations. Close to a wall warmed by the sun, fruit ripens better. This means that by bending, training and shaping the branches against a wall the tree produces better fruit. It was first written about in 1561. The development of new cultivation techniques has given this type of pruning a primarily decorative function. Nevertheless, these trees still yield a maximum and top quality fruit harvest.

The central espalier lime tree

Espalier lime trees are a beautiful and historical application in which the lowest level is supported by a circle of poles. Markets were held, justice was pronounced and news was exchanged under these old trees. Dances were held both under and in the lime trees by fastening a dance floor with space for musicians and dancers to the lowest level of branches. The lime was a central feature of many villages. 


Van den Berk Nurseries specialises in the open ground cultivation of larger-sized trees and shrubs. Inquisitiveness combined with a passion for trees has resulted in a very wide and deep range. This range contains over 1700 species that include avenue trees, conifers, shrubs, topiary trees, fruit trees and rhododendrons. At the nurseries, you will find uniform consignments as well as that special solitary. Van den Berk offers one of the most extensive ranges in Europe.
