Made a trip today to Jaeken Nursery near Antwerp/Belgium.
They're specialized in anything mediteranean but most importantly, they sell Baud's trees!
Although i live in the Netherlands my self Antwerp is just an hour drive from Rotterdam.
I think everyone is familiar with his A-B-C- series, basically the well known varieties Baud sells but he also has a "Hors" serie, the more rare stuff and that's what i'm after.
So after 1 hr and 20 minutes ride because we got stuck in a traffic jam we made it to the nursery.
They had plenty of choice and some very interesting cultivars.

Outside they had the bigger potted trees, and when i say big, i mean big!


Rows and rows of our beloved trees...

But those huge ones didn't fit in my station(lol) so i had to go for 1 year old trees.
I finally got to score a Cavaliere, that has been on my wish list for years.
Second choice was a La Bourgeoise that i have never seen listed anywhere before.
Third choice was an Asfar.
So here's my new babies uppotted and back in the Netherlands...

It's been a successful trip!
