How Should Nursery Stock be Graded
This topic is one that has been talked about for at least twenty-five years and as a. preliminary to a discussion of the subject we should ask ourselvesa few questions. 1.What is grading of nursery stock?Isit synonymous with culling or is it a further refinement after obvious culls have been eliminated at the time of lifting? 2. Are any of you nurserymen actually grading stock or are you just settingup a few more specifications for culling? 3. If we are going to differentiate between culling and grading how can any nursery, shipping over one million trees, keep up with the requirements of the planting projects and segregate the stock into two or three grades.
