Hoe, Hoe, Hoe

Nielsen’s Garden Development Pty Ltd have developed a truly unique mature tree nursery on Victoria’s picturesque Mornington Peninsula. With a wealth of experience developing horticultural business models over the last 20 years, Nielsen’s were commissioned by Somers Enterprises Pty Ltd to develop an environmentally sustainable, bespoke horticultural business model to operate from Flinders. Drawing upon Nielsen’s vast experience in landscape design and installation, along with their technical expertise in production horticulture, the result was the mature tree nursery Hoe, Hoe, Hoe Pty Ltd. Hoe, Hoe, Hoe, which is focused on creating mature landscape feature pieces, produces sculptural, classical, and uniquely shaped super-mature trees for the landscape and garden design industry. Many of the trees are produced in ground using geotech root control bags to develop high stem calliper to root ball ratios.

Hoe, Hoe, Hoe’s dazzling feature trees have the boldness to stand alone as captivating landscape headlines, or they can be grouped to build dramatic landscape scenes. None are more magnificent than Hoe, Hoe, Hoe’s signature trees, the Cloud pruned olives. These topline specimens have been created through exacting sculpturing using the Japanese art of Niwaki. Each tree is a unique work of art ready to inspire, excite and provoke. The mature trees displayed as part of the NGIV’s REVEALED exhibition have undergone several years of re-establishment and re-creation since being harvested as mature trees to transform them into the spectacular garden ready specimens on show. Hoe, Hoe, Hoe produce: • Super mature “roof trees” (Mulberry,

Fig and Platanus species) • “Arch way” trees ready for instant arbours (Laburnum, Cherry and Garrya species) • Classical cordon espalier specimens (Malus, Quince and Cercis species) • Contemporary geometric Cercis tree specimens • Mature olive trees are also available in natural branch formation for less formal landscapes.
