Cells
A diverse selection of UK-native cell-grown trees
Each year, we cultivate over 500,000 cells in deep trays, which provides numerous benefits and allows for planting at any time of the year.
What are the benefits of cell-grown trees?
Extended planting season
Extended planting season
Cell-grown trees offer the advantage of being planted during an extended planting season, almost year-round in certain conditions. This flexibility facilitates convenience and enhances their establishment in warmer soils and favourable weather outside the typical planting timeframe.
Improved root system
Improved root system
The roots are safeguarded and contained within compost, ensuring that the delicate fibrous roots remain unharmed and protected from drying out. The entire intact fibrous root system can be easily planted owing to the cell’s uniform and neat shape.
Effortless storage
Effortless storage
Cells can be conveniently stored outdoors before planting, eliminating the need for labour-intensive heeling in or cold storage solutions.
Easy planting
Easy planting
The root system’s compact and fibrous structure in a cell enables easy handling and planting, resulting in a quick and efficient process.
Higher survival rate
Higher survival rate
As the root system of a cell-grown stock remains intact, it guarantees a high success rate for establishment and significantly reduces replacement costs due to failures.
Cost-saving
Cost-saving
Cells may cost slightly more than bare root stock for certain species at first. However, the savings gained from avoiding replanting is significant and greatly surpasses those initial extra costs over time.
