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.

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.
