Intensified Nursery Practices--The Key to High-Quality, Custom-Grown Field-Graded Forest Tree Seedlings

Nurserymen can, by using correct cultural methods, grow plants that will not have to be culled or graded in the conventional manner. This will result in considerable savings of time and cost in the packing process. A second advantage in planting this type seedling is that less root exposure results during packaging.
