We produce a high quality plug seedling that is ideal for use as grafting under stock. These seedlings come in a number of species and offer the following advantages:
|
Newly planted plug |
- Seedlings are a uniform size.
- Easier to pot than bare root seedlings. Container can be filled with soil first and then simply make a hole using a dibble tool and drop the tree in.
- No root pruning to fit seedlings into most pots. This cuts down on labor cost and transplanting shock. The 3 5/8 x5 band works well.
- Plugs don't get their roots damaged in the packing and transplant process increasing their health and survival rate.
- In one growing season, with proper fertilization you can have nice health uniform stock ready for grafting or out planting in the field that are easier to plant than bare root stock.
