Propagation and Nursery Culture

Discover how bottomless propagation cells and air pruning eliminate taproot circling in wild-type seedlings. You will establish a dense, fibrous lateral root network that reduces planting shock in field conditions.

Compare root architecture, field labor costs, and survival rates between bare-root stock and containerized plants. You will choose the appropriate stock format based on local precipitation patterns and planting site topography.

Master the precise cambium alignment required for whip-and-tongue grafts on proprietary seedling stocks. You will prepare clean cuts, wrap grafts effectively, and manage callusing conditions to ensure vascular connection.
