Cold-storage of Forest Nursery Plants An Account of Experiments and Trials; 1958–63

(With 2 Plates)

J. R. ALDHOUS

Research Branch, Forestry Commission

Seedlings of many species commonly planted in the forest may safely be kept in cold-stores at +2° C. Storage at –5° generally reduces the rate of survival after transplanting. The period in store may last from February until late May if seedlings are required for late transplanting, or it may be extended until August if surplus seedlings are being held over. Plants must be fully dormant when lifted; they must be healthy and must not be put into store until any rain or dew has dried off them. Plants should be stored in polythene bags.
