Hardwood cutting

Hardwood cuttings are generally struck in communal trays on a heat bench, or increasingly direct struck into growing-on pots. Common practice for general production is to not include nutrients in the striking media to allow callus formation and initial root emergence prior to fertilising with a WSF.

Forestry seedling

There is a wide range of seedling production systems used by the forestry industry. Systems range from direct seeded forestry tubes placed on the ground with overhead fixed irrigation, to highly sophisticated environment controlled moving roof greenhouses, ebb and flow or gantry irrigation systems and rolling benches. In addition to this there is a lot of variation in the potting media and the water quality used.

Green arrowEverris Tip

Try using a longer term Osmocote such as Osmocote Exact 12-14 mth
Lo-start. That way you can achieve good distribution of prills in your tubes with safe delivery of adequate nutrients. Ask for a technical bulletin on rates and cell size.
