Most items Must be ordered in whole bundles. Share a bundle with a friend. Trees are grown in the field, then in late fall they are dug with a machine similar to a potato digger that undercuts the row, shakes the dirt off them and dumps them in a bin. Then they go to the sorting shed, where they are graded, counted, bundled, boxed, and frozen lightly until spring.
Instead of being in a field, they are grown in styroblocks -- 1 foot x 2 foot x 6 inch blocks with a whole bunch of tiny pot cavities moulded in. When ready the trees are popped out of the block, graded, counted, etc. Bundle of 15 Spruce plugs. Crowns, bulbs, tubers These are the chunky root of a plant that otherwise dies back to the ground each fall. Rhubarb and asparagus come as crowns.
Jerusalem artichokes, iris are tubers, lilies are bulbs. Plug trees have smaller root systems, which makes them faster to plant. They tend to suffer less from transplant shock. Because they have all the tiny hair roots intact, they can start growing before they get planted, giving you more time to get them in the ground. These are 2 year old cotoneaster bare root seedlings. The smallest roots there can dry out in seconds on a hot windy day.
Keep in a bucket of damp peat until just before you put them in the ground. Bare root trees are typically twice as large, with much larger root systems. They have zero protection from drying out. When you pick them up from us, they are either bagged with some wet sawdust, or the bundles are in pots with the roots buried in wet compost. Park in the shade, under a spruce, or on the north side of a building, or in an unheated shed until you are ready to plant.
Keep the material around the roots damp, but not soggy. Pails should have drain holes. You have about days to deal with bagged bare root, minus the time they have waited for pick up. I use large pots, or pails with drainholes. You can store them this way for another week or two. Longer storage leads to higher mortality rates. Planting in full bundles like this, not all the roots are in contact with soil, so keeping them shaded reduces stress on the ones in the middle of the bundle.
If you have to keep them for longer periods, break up bundles. You can put several bundles in a container with dirt between them. When you plant, mix up a half bucket slurry of peatmoss, compost, vermiculite, or perlite so that it is thick enough for the bundle of trees to stand more or less upright, but thin enough that you can separate one from the bundle. Keep tree roots under the surface as much as possible until just before you plant them.
Work with only one or two bundles at a time. The others should be snoozing in the shade. Ideally the bare roots should be exposed to the air for under 30 seconds between removal from the pail and being once again buried. Water the tree as soon as possible after planting. If you have dry soil conditions at planting time, you MUST water each plant immediately. Planting during early morning or evening when the sun is less intense, and there is little wind will minimize the stress on the trees.
The best possible day is heavy overcast with fog or light mist. Plugs also need to be kept moist, but this is a lot easier due to the peat moss around them.
The same trick with the peat moss slurry works here too, but it only needs to be a few inches deep. It may come as a surprise to everyday people, but logging companies to clear-cut timber and replant tree seedlings has both environmental and financial benefits. From an environmenta l standpoint, the practice allows sunlight and nutrients to reach the soil better. Clear-cutting also opens the door to improved land management because tree seedlings can be planted to ensure the forest does not become overgrown with dry underbrush.
Dead plant life and congested forests create dangerous wildfire conditions. A smartly managed forest improves the conditions for plants and wildlife to flourish. The other side of the coin is that Tennessee landowners often need to generate income from their properties, and timber harvesting ranks among the best options.
A healthy forest can generate more than a thousand dollars per acre. That revenue helps pay the taxes and eliminates the need to turn the state's bountiful greenery into commercial or residential developments. It may seem counterintuitive, but clear-cutting timber and planting tree seedlings rank among the best sustainable practices. Savvy land management requires property owners to select tree seedlings from a healthy plant nursery and deliver a robust yield.
These are things to consider when making wholesale seedling purchases from our TN nursery. Softwoods such as pines have become tried-and-true trees for logging purposes. Pine tree seedlings are among the fastest-growing, and some varieties shoot up by feet annually.
The tree seedlings landowners can purchase at wholesale prices from our TN nursery include the following. When choosing tree seedlings from our TN Nursery, experienced landowners typically weigh the time it takes for a particular variety to mature against the lumber's value.
But regardless of your choice, purchasing tree seedlings from a local plant nursery remains a positive environmental step that helps prevent wildfires and maintains the state's natural greenery.
