 Pineland
provides customized, container grown seedlings for
silvicultural planting for orders from 50,000 to
5,000,000.
We
offer great flexibility for species and size.
Currently we utilize 12 different container sizes
from 13 cc to 336 cc. and have extensive experience
growing white spruce, black spruce, Norway spruce, jack
pine, red pine, eastern white pine, Scots pine, and have
produced smaller amounts
of various other species.
We have 63 separate growing structures which
allows us to treat each crop individually.
Current
Crop (summer plant) seedlings are sown early in the year
and are available for late spring or summer planting.
Seedlings are lifted, packaged, and shipped
directly to the field for planting.
 Overwinter
Crop seedlings are sown in late winter or early spring
for shipping the following spring.
We offer on-site cold storage until your
seedlings are required for planting in the spring or for
snow caching in the winter.
We can also assist with your shipping
requirements as we have a fleet of 9 refrigerated vans
or we can deal directly with the client’s or planting
contractor’s trucking firm of choice.
We
have an intensive quality assurance program to monitor
seedlings throughout the growth phase and while in
overwinter storage.
We monitor each individual stocklot for several
growth parameters from start to finish of each crop.
At any given time, we have information on the
height, diameter, root and shoot weight, and how all
parameters compare to “normal” growth curves; as
well, we have information on growing medium pH and salt
(fertilizer) levels.
We also do freezer tests and bud dissections to
determine readiness for overwinter storage.
Pineland’s
staff works directly with silvicultural professionals to
help determine your needs.
We follow up with field consultations to work out
any problems and monitor our seedlings progress with
you. We are
also happy to have you visit the nursery to inspect your
seedlings and view our facilities. |
