Tree Nursery and Fruit Company Mts. Cornelissen is a family business. As brothers, we have gradually taken over the company since 1990 and expanded it to what it is today: an internationally operating growing company in the Dutch Betuwe and Flevopolder regions, with an additional branch in Sierpc, Poland. We not only supply Dutch fruit growers but also a large number of fruit growers in other European countries. We have a wide product range that is tailored to the demand of our customers from various countries.
 
The best trees grow in the best soil, which is why we have been planting our fruit trees and rootstocks since 2007 in the fertile soils of our land plots in Biddinghuizen and Dronten in the Dutch Flevopolder region. In addition, we grow Conference pears on 23 hectares in the famous Dutch fruit region ‘the Betuwe’, and have recently expanded our orchards with another 20 hectares.





 

Grafting and sorting we perform at our own location in Poland. Pieter is always present here, while Matthijs takes care of the nursery and pear production in the Netherlands. Third parties can also outsource their sorting and bench grafting to us at our Polish location. Besides, we offer our production from this location for sale.

We are passionate about what we do, determined to get the best results, and we sometimes see opportunities where others don't. You can read an example below. The results become visible in our range of services, but above all in the quality of our products.

In 2012, many young plants throughout the country froze due to a few nights of severe frost until -25 degrees Celsius. Other growers grubbed up and shredded their trees that year, we decided to cut and re-graft our 325,000 frozen pear trees. A layer of snow of about 10 cm high had protected the lower part of the trunks and we believed in a second chance (click here to open the Dutch article in Boom in Business). It turned out to be our best decision ever. At the end of 2013, we were the only ones who could supply pear trees, even of a very good quality.
