For Growers.
Plant out directly in the field in cool conditions or pot up and grow on for 1-2 years to get your trees ahead of the weeds and give them time to adapt to your climate.
Avoid fertilising in the first few months after planting as this can burn seedlings.
Plant on gentle slopes or hilly terrain with good drainage, they do not like wet feet.
Frost tolerant down to -7 degrees celsius, prefers warmer climates.
Water young seedlings regularly until established. Once stablished requires little water or fertiliser.
Keep weeds down around the tree for at least the first two years until established.

How are the seedlings grown and shipped?
Radiata pine seedlings are ready for dispatch the first winter after sowing. Fir and Spruce seedlings are slower growing and require four or more seasons.
Upon dispatch, seedlings are removed from trays and are packed into waxed boxes.
We recommend seedlings are planted directly out field or potted up as soon as possible upon arrival. A 140mm pot is the ideal size to hold seedlings for an additional year.
What is the process for my seedling pre-order?
The Pre-order window allows us to plan ahead and care for your trees in the nursery.
To cover the cost of raising the seedlings, we ask for a 40% deposit at the time the pre-order is placed.
The amount charged at the checkout for the pre-order is the 40% deposit and shipping cost.
Once seedlings are ready for dispatch, our team will send a manual invoice for the remaining payment. Payment must be received in full before orders are sent.
Please ensure your shipping and contact details are correct at the time of your pre-order checkout as shipping labels and the final invoice are generated based on this information.
Buyers accept full responsibility for their order upon dispatch.
Our team will contact customers with wholesale orders for delivery options, all other orders will be sent via AusPost as per details selected during checkout.
