PINUS RADIATA
Your success is also our success
95% + survival rate was the client’s target. Our forestry nursery staff achieved an excellent result for a client planting Pinus radiata on a dry site in eastern Marlborough. We had successfully supplied seedlings to a neighbouring property in the 1990s, and were able to offer advice on how to establish seedlings successfully on a site with an average rainfall of 600–700mm pa. Working closely with the manager, we identified the most likely problem areas, developed a plan and the best practices to plant a large quantity of seedlings in a timely manner. As with any large planting project, there were delays but our contingency plan worked well and there was good communication between all parties. At the end of the first summer, we achieved a result of 97–98%, actively growing seedlings.
This is the most commonly planted forestry species because it is adaptable over a wide range of planting sites. A choice of GF (growth and form) ratings are available including GF
Pluscertified seedlots which provide information on the individual traits of particular seedlots.
We will quote on large orders. |

ALDER
All alders fix atmospheric nitrogen on their root
nodules, have widely utilised hardwood timber, and
are used for shade and shelter. When inter-planted
with oaks, growth of oaks is enhanced probably due
to the additional available nitrogen.
