Seedling Care and Planting Guidelines
Bare root and containerized tree seedlings must be handled carefully from the time they are harvested at the nursery until they are transplanted in the field. Equally important is planting seedlings correctly. This booklet will tell you how. Proper seedling handing is complicated by the variety of environmental conditions that may occur during this critical time between harvesting and transplanting. Monitor environmental conditions continuously. Adjust field operations as necessary to adhere to these guidelines. By following these standards, you enhance the likelihood of a successful planting. Reforestation costs are the landowner’s primary forestry investment during a timber stand’s life. Good seedling survival sets the stage for the next forest’s productivity and the landowner’s returns on investment. With more and more landowners planting advanced genetics seedlings such as MCP® following these guidelines is especially important.
