The Autumn Blaze Red Maple Tree Nursery Canada

By Helen Hall


You've done everything right in selecting planting sites, field preparation, fertilization and weed control, but now you're faced with harvesting the saplings and loading them unto trailers for your customers. What are the options, and which is most cost-effective? Have a look at the following article taking us through the theme Challenges in the tree nursery canada.

Indeed, a fascinating time for a new nurseryman is when the saplings reach marketable size, and the cash flow promises to change direction, i. E., "cash in-flow" instead of "cash outflow!" Now is the time (if not sooner) to consider how one will move the b&b saplings or containers from the growing field to the loading area. Of course, the obvious way is to use the loader bucket on the tractor or skid steer, but that requires some man-handling of the sapling to get it into the bucket.

As your sapling becomes established it will spread its roots to cover a wide area around it, as well as sending roots deeper into the soil. An established mature sapling will have an intricate network of shallow roots extending beyond the drip line of its branches. To support your sapling, it is essential that you give it the correct level of regular watering throughout its first few years and in most cases use mulch to retain water, especially during the summer months.

Even without pruning, this sapling looks fresh and clean with an oval shape to it. The Maple is ordinary to produce, no maintenance, flourishes well anywhere, drought resilient and reasonable. What more could you ask for? Preferably you are a beginner at planting saplings or a native with the Red Maple it is hard to go wrong.

If in doubt, consult your large sapling nursery for advice specific to your sapling type, climate and soil conditions. Amount of water - Calculate the volume of water according to the size of the root ball. Usually, you will need to water around 5%-8% of the volume of the root ball each time. So a 1000 liter root ball will require 50 to 80 liters of water.

This invention, known as a ball-handler in the industry, the ProLineGRABBER, utilizes a pair of hand-shaped paddles to grasp the root ball gently and securely, without damage to the burlap or the root structure itself. What makes this device so trouble-free is its simplicity. It has only one hydraulic cylinder and one moving part. That means virtually no maintenance and no downtime for repairs. Another important by-product of its simplicity is its low cost.

Only those features that are important to its function or durability are included. What is not necessary is omitted. There are other, more expensive, ways of moving plant material from the field to the loading area. A couple of manufacturers offer a skid steer attachment that operates much like the human wrist with motion in all three directions.

As one might expect, these functions come at the expense of much higher complexity as well as much, much higher cost. To the new nurseryman, there is little justification for so much more excellent added investment. Maintain your own environment with saplings if you want to stay in a smart environment.
