About African Nurseries

African Nurseries brings together 45 years of combined expertise in the nursery and grape industries through the partnership of Andrew Teubes and Koos van der Merwe. We take pride in offering innovative solutions to the challenges faced by the wine, table, and raisin grape sectors.

Situated on Heuwelfontein Farm in the Sandveld, halfway between Hopefield and Velddrif our nursery benefits from strategic isolation that significantly reduces the risk of harmful virus transmission. The pristine underground water sourced from the West Coast Aquifer ensures a nematode-free environment, while the fine sandy soil provides ideal conditions for cultivating robust, branched root systems—an attribute unique to our region and a key point of pride.

With abundant land available, we employ a rotational cultivation system, allowing each nursery field to rest for three years before reuse. This sustainable practice preserves soil health and ensures long-term fertility.

Our plantation of male palm trees in Kakamas, Northern Cape, will begin producing pollen for commercial farm use in 2026. Small quantities will be available for trial purposes.

To ensure the availability of the desired grafting combination, customers must place their vine orders one year in advance between May and June. The availability of additional & surplus vines will only be determined after all vines have been uprooted.
