It could almost be an advertising slogan, and somehow it is one. We, the Lorenz von Ehren nursery, are the advertisers, because we hope that our trees will be able to develop to their full splendour at their new and hopefully final location. It’s not only about good wood quality, but also the correct planting and care on the building site. READ MORE
Asian flair originating from a North German tree nursery doesn't have to be a contradiction. Green is an international language and Asian trees and shrubs have been an integral part of the Lorenz von Ehren nursery's assortment for a long time. The knowledge and specialist expertise acquired has been continuously incorporated into the collection's Asian features — for over 40 years! In our opinion, a very successful example is the Lorenz von Ehren show garden “Ost trifft West” (East meets West) at Castle Dyck in Jüchen near Düsseldorf which opened recently, in June 2018.

The Lorenz von Ehren nursery will be publishing a further edition of their exclusive series “Unique specimens" At the GaLaBau trade fair in Nuremberg from 12–15 September, the Lorenz von Ehren nursery in Hamburg will be presenting one of the most beautiful pieces from their extensive range of groves.

The flowering ash, also know as manna ash or Fraxinus ornus, is particularly well suited as a street tree because it tolerates road salt and is only affected by external influences when situated in paved locations. The dryness that often occurs in city locations is also hardly an issue for the tree. And its origin? Central and eastern North America! READ MORE
The Lorenz von Ehren nursery gives you insights behind the scenes.
How are trees cleared? What cutting techniques are there? How is summer shipping carried out? These are just three of many nursery-related topics which the Lorenz von Ehren nursery has reviewed in film format for enthusiasts. The films are now available on our company’s YouTube channel “Baumschule Lorenz von Ehren” and on our homepage https://www.lve-baumschule.de/en/company/
According to a recent study of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), our feet will also get wet by 2040 in many parts of central Europe. This will be a consequence of changed rainfall patterns due to global warming, the scientists determined and thus made flooding on rivers the focus of observation once again. Without structural countermeasures the number of persons affected by flooding events in Germany alone would rise from 0.1 to 0.7 million. It will be worse, if we, according to the study, do not limit anthropogenic global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius, because even structural adjustments will be difficult then.

Why is there so much fuss about poisonous woody plants
Wherever you meet garden owners and people responsible for green areas in the cities and municipalities, you will encounter a great deal of concern about the toxicity of woody plants.
Especially when it comes to children, the issue seems to touch a nerve. This is a development which in the foreseeable future could lead to the disappearance of poisonous woody plants from our environment and thus also the fauna dependent on them. We would like to try to rehabilitate these woody plants, and we would certainly also like to oblige the citizens to do so, because a little peace and quiet and less excitement can actually work wonders in this issue. We believe it is time to inform and educate - and not just to cut down the plants.

The Celtic tree horoscope comes to the Lorenz von Ehren nursery
Our destiny is not written in the stars, but in the trees. At least, that is what the ancient Celts are thought to have believed. The Lorenz von Ehren nursery is recreating the Celtic tree wheel on its grounds in celebration of its 150th anniversary. If you want to know what kind of tree you are, you can visit the nursery from 10:00 to 18:00 on 5 September 2015.
“It is enough for us that our friends and partners join us in celebrating our 150th anniversary, and that is why, instead of material gifts, we have requested that people give their support to the charitable foundation “Ein Platz für Kinder” (“a place for children”), particularly the Mattisburg children’s shelter in Hamburg,” says Bernhard von Ehren, managing partner of the Lorenz von Ehren nursery.
