The majority of our production comprises containerized seedlings, cultivated using the air pruning method. Despite its complex-sounding name, the principle is straightforward. This method involves intensive growth in specially designed containers of varying sizes and shapes, all accredited for cultivating tree species. These containers are filled with substrate, where seeds or small seedlings are planted. With an open bottom, these trays are placed on silvicultural-handling frames. As roots extend from the container, they naturally air prune, resulting in a compact root ball with abundant root hairs and minimal defects or deformities. Reforestation using these seedlings is viable from September to June, excluding periods of frozen soil. Once planted, these seedlings exhibit accelerated growth, reducing the duration of crop care, which is undoubtedly economically advantageous.
Despite the decline in the production of bare-root seedlings, we continue to plant a significant number of coniferous and deciduous seedlings using this traditional method. These saplings grow in mineral soil, sourced from fields without soil, during both spring and autumn sessions. Due to their origin, they require more careful handling and planting. The window for planting bare-root seedlings is relatively short as they must be in dormancy. Typically, these seedlings are planted from mid-October until the onset of frost, and then again during the spring months, particularly in March and April. However, it's crucial to collect plants from the forest nursery on time and store them under optimal conditions to prevent premature germination. Although this technique necessitates a longer growing period in the nursery, it doesn't require specialized equipment, resulting in lower purchase prices.
