- A product enabling:-
- Flexible
work planning:-
- allowing tree planting to be carried out when ground
conditions are appropriate, and also when labour is available and
convenient. Thus in-house labour can easily be used.
- Flexible planting
season:
- allowing tree planting into warm soils when roots are active,
encouraging rapid establishment. September/October and March/April being
ideal. This provides better working conditions, leading to the
likelihood of better planting!
- Minimal root disturbance:-
- root systems are
supplied intact, with no loss of fine feeding roots and root hairs,
which can often carry associated mycorrhizae, and which are essential
for speedy establishment.
- Uniformity:-
- the grading and uniformity of our
Cell Grown stock in size and root quality ensures as consistent a plant
as possible is used.
- Disciplined and safe plant handling
- due to the tidy
packaging and presentation of our Cell Grown trees, they can not be
visibly mishandled, damaging plant viability. This enables a high
success rate with better uniformity, resulting in the need for less
subsequent maintenance - a job often forgotten.
- Added benefits:-
- along
with the compost protecting the roots, one has the option to add slow
release fertilisers, mycorrhizae to enhance establishment on marginal
sites, and in some instances insecticides to protect against pests.
These are available given advance warning and may incur additional
cost.
