Why Bareroot? Why Containerized?

Why Bareroot?  Why Containerized?

When should you plant Bareroot Seedlings rather than Containerized Seedlings or vice versa?

 

ArborGen provides both containerized and bareroot seedlings for reforestation, and there are benefits to using both. But which stock type you choose is really based on what’s best for your land and what you want at harvest.

Initial survival is essential, but there’s much beyond that consideration when designing a thriving, strong stand of trees—one with increased growth, better straightness, rust resistance, and reduced forking. The genetics of the seedlings you plant can directly determine the return on your investment – not the stock type.

You may be paying more for the container than what’s inside.

  • Freight costs are less.
  • Large-scale projects can be more economical with bareroot seedlings.
  • Containers can cost up to $50 more per acre to plant than bareroot.

  • Container seedlings can provide some survival insurance, but at a cost.

Proper Site Prep Prevents Poor Performance Arborgen Tree Seedlings Treelines April 2023 1St Edition

And remember, proper site prep prevents poor performance – every time.

Planting containerized seedlings is not a substitute for proper quality site preparation or poor genetics. Landowners should refrain from buying containerized seedlings only to skimp on-site preparation, thinking that the containerized seedlings will compensate for poor or no site prep.
