CO5.4 Cell grown conifers

root system - root protection - bare root conifers - cell grown conifers - rootballed conifers - container grown conifers

Cell grown conifers are usually grown from seed. The plant is grown in a container (a cell) and then supplied with a complete rootball, bundled together, protected with plastic and dispatched in boxes.

Cell trees are specified by ROOT VOLUME (Container size), HEIGHT and ROOT COLLAR DIAMETER.

As with all plants, specifications cannot be rigid since growing conditions will vary from year to year but the information in this specification gives the general standards for growing cell plants. Again, as for other stocks, larger cell grown conifers can be grown on contract.
