HERPLANT

BetterBuxus® is the brand name of resistant boxwood varieties, developed by Herplant BVBA. These hybrids are resistant to fungal diseases... Herplant BVBA is a tree nursery of Buxus and Taxus founded in 1985 by the 3 brothers Hermans... Fungal diseases in Buxus were becoming more and more of a problem and were difficult to control without an intensive crop protection scheme. In order to find a sustainable solution, a breeding program was started in 2007 by Herplant BV, based on their large collection of more than 200 Buxus species and cultivars. From more than 10,000 seedlings, 4 resistant hybrids were selected and distributed under the brand name BetterBuxus®.
