Please explain...<br />

What’s a plug seedling?<br />

When someone refers to a plug seedling,<br />

they are referring to a tree grown in a small<br />

container (2 – 5 cubic inches) usually for one<br />

growing season, inside a greenhouse. Seedling<br />

height ranges from 3 to 12 inches.<br />

What’s a bareroot?<br />

This stock has been grown in an outdoor<br />

nursery and packed without soil on the roots.<br />

This stock can be either 1, 2 or 3 years old.<br />

Seedlings are generally classified by age in<br />

the seed bed and age in the transplant bed.<br />

Seedling height ranges from 6 to 20 inches.<br />

What’s a transplant?<br />

Transplants are trees that were grown for<br />

1 or 2 years in a seed bed and then<br />

transplanted at a wider spacing into a<br />

transplant bed. This would include a Plug+1<br />

(grown first year in a greenhouse), 1+1 or a<br />

2+1. Transplants generally have a root system<br />

made up of more fine roots and will typically<br />

exhibit better first year growth and survival<br />

than a bareroot. Seedling height ranges from<br />

6 to 30 inches.<br />

Nursery stock type nomenclature<br />

1+0 1 year seed bed<br />

2+0 2 year seed bed<br />

1+1 1 year seed bed + 1 year transplant bed<br />

2+1 2 year seed bed + 1 year transplant bed<br />

P+1 1 year plug + 1 year transplant bed<br />

Plug 1 year old, container<br />

Planting Sites<br />

Shady areas? If you’re looking for a tree to<br />

plant in an area that doesn’t get much sun, try<br />

a Western hemlock or a Grand fir. Cedar would<br />

be another option.<br />

Wet areas? For those wet areas that may have<br />

some standing water or poor drainage, try<br />

Grand fir or Lodgepole pine.<br />
