Rapid Reforestation Using AirTray Technology

Rapid Reforestation Using AirTray Technology

Save money and time by growing seedling over the winter after the wildfires are out.

Choose the areas where natural regeneration is unlikely. Send us your seed or ask us to purchase seed for your area and have it to our nursery by August 31st and we’ll have our Rapid Rooting Seedling ready for you in the spring.
  • Stocktypes:
    • 4 cubic inch (30 x 90 mm)
    • 7 cubic inch (40 x 120 mm) For some situations, but not all
  • Our nursery is heated in the winter to 72 deg. F
  • Studies have shown that the faster reforestation takes place before other rasses, forbs and shrubs occupy the site, seedling survival rate increases
  • Save money with initial site prep, use less seed, pay less for smaller seedlings, cost savings in cooler storage and transportation and planting
  • Protect the smaller seedlings from browse with Trico Pro applied at the nursery
