Nangle and Niesen will hold a trade open day on Wednesday, September 25, from 10am to 4pm, at its nursery in Aherla, County Cork.

The plan for the day is as follows:

  • Coffee from 10am to 11am.
  • First guided tour from 11am to 1pm.
  • Lunch from 1pm to 2pm.
  • Second guided tour from 2pm to 4pm.

The walking tour of the nursery will take in existing and new plantations as well as pruning and rootballing demonstrations.

In 2018, Nangle and Niesen held an open day where attendees were drawn from both the public and private sectors with local authorities, landscape architects, garden designers, and landscape contractors all well represented.

Ronan Nangle led the nursery tours with visits to the fields to see the amenity and ornamental stock, their multi-stems and newer plantations, and the mature specimens.

Practical demonstrations included the process of lifting and rootballing trees, lifting of bareroot trees with an examination of the vitally important fibrous root systems, and correct tree-care techniques.

Discussions centered on the importance of correct nursery practices like transplanting, effective pruning, and overall crown development. A key driver of debate was the importance of correctly specifying trees and the merits of Irish-grown trees for Irish conditions over European imports.

Lunch each day was centered around the barbecue with venison burgers from their own deer stock with organic salad from nearby Robinsons organic farm, Toons Bridge mozzarella, and local Mealagulla orchard apple juice and cider.
