Benjamin Franklin once said, “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.” While that idea applies to just about every facet of life, it rings especially true in reforestation — and in seedling production in particular. The decisions made today directly impact the success...
A successful planting season starts long before the first seedling goes in the ground. Proper handling, storage, and planting practices are critical to protecting seedling health, maximizing survival, and ensuring strong early growth.
At ArborGen, we view seedling care as a shared responsibility. From the nursery to the field, following proven best practices helps protect your investment and gives your trees the best possible start.
Planting season in the U.S. Southeast can be unpredictable. Warm days can quickly give way to freezing nights, and those temperature swings make timing — and preparation — critical to seedling survival and long-term stand performance.
At ArborGen, we know that successful planting doesn’t stop at delivery. Our role as your partner extends throughout the season, helping you navigate challenging conditions so your investment gets the strongest possible start.
At ArborGen, we believe that strong relationships grow strong forests - and that’s exactly the philosophy Clint Ebert brings with him as our newest Reforestation Advisor. With more than 25 years of experience in forestry and timber procurement, Clint has...
Bare root seedlings are young trees grown in nursery beds and lifted during the dormant season without soil around their roots. They’re lightweight, easy to handle, and ship in bundles; making them one of the most practical choices for landowners, foresters, and...
The major decision for you to make prior to planting is whether you want to plant seed from an open-pollinated cone or a controlled-pollinated cone (MCP™). In a nutshell (well maybe pinecone is more appropriate here), your choice decides what DNA is packed inside of the cone and how that DNA will drive the future production, disease resistance, stem form, and ultimately financial return of your future forest for the next 25+ years.
Choosing the right seedlings to meet your goals can be frustrating and confusing. We want you to relax with confidence, knowing you’ve chosen the best seedlings to grow the healthy, profitable forest you want to meet your goals.
