ŹRÓDŁO DOBRYCH PNĄCZY
High quality produce along with the growing interest in Clematis both in Poland
and abroad as well as continuous efforts of the nursery owners to gain new markets
allowed to increase the supply and to further develop the enterprise. The owners
bought 2.5 ha field in nearby Pruszków where in 1993 works began on the new nur-
sery construction. The investment was developed based on a comprehensive plan
anticipating many innovative solutions optimizing the plant growing conditions. In
autumn 1995 production was moved from Jawczyce to Pruszków. In the new place
opportunities appeared to improve effectiveness and scale of production and to
enhance the assortment with new species and cultivars further raising the quality
of the plants on offer. Except the production department a collection of Clematis
and other climbers’ varieties was established which now consists in over 800 taxons.
The novelty assessment department was another valuable addition.
At the moment Clematis Sz. Marczyński, W. Piotrowski Sp.j. Nursery takes up 9 ha
out of which 7.5 ha takes container cultivation, including 1 ha tunnel-covered.
