Batouwe Tree Nurseries
Batouwe Boomkwekerijen has developed into a highly respected name in the market in a short period of time. In 2005, Willem and Henk Huibers began their mission to improve results of growers by delivering high quality. 'With Growcoon we can transplant faster. That's our big advantage.'
'With Growcoon, we can transplant faster. That's the big advantage. The varieties that our customers want delivered in the spring, but don't root as easily, I put in a Growcoon. What we pot up in February/March, we can deliver in May. That's fast. The enormous root development in the Growcoon makes this possible.'
How does Growcoon work?
Growcoon is a biodegradable growth and seed plug holder which is placed inside the propagation tray before the filling of substrate. Because of the open net structure, Growcoon protects and supports young plants for optimal growth. The unique net structure makes it possible to provide your crop with the best,
crop specific substrate and can be filled loosely.
Combined with the perfect fit in the tray, Growcoon creates an optimal microclimate for root development. The net structure protects the rootzone and makes transplanting possible in an early stage without harming the roots.
Once the seedling is transplanted, the mission of Growcoon is completed. As the plant continues healthy development, Growcoon will slowly be biodegraded and will be converted
into water and CO2.
About Batouwe Tree Nurseries

'We were asked if we could deliver within 3 months. With Growcoon, we can.'
Growcoon & Biodegradation
The Growcoon possesses unique properties that ensure the plug is completely biodegradable. When in contact with substrate, Growcoons are biologically decomposed by micro-organisms such as fungi and bacteria. The Growcoon is gradually converted to water and C02. This leaves no toxic residue. This degradation process has been fully analyzed by TÜV, which has led to the obtaining of the OK Soil and OK Compost certificate.
Growcoon & efficiency
Efficiency is important for every grower. Growcoon makes it possible to work more efficient. The Growcoons are stacked in a compact way. As a result, the cost of transport become very economical. With the use of the Growcoon Dispenser, all Growcoons will automatically be placed in trays. Moreover, transplanting becomes easier. During the process, the root ball remains intact, and the root zone is protected from damage. Growcoon even makes it possible to transplant at an earlier stage.
