Eight week old conifer seedlings raised intensively in small plastic tubes are capable of high survival and vigorous growth when step planted on ploughed peatland. The effective planting season is from April to August, and very high planting rates are possible with the appropriate tool. This Leaflet provides current recommendations for the production and use of Lodgepole pine and Sitka spruce tubed seedlings.
