Pinus ponderosa
In 1979 a seed stand was established in Naseby Forest by the Forest Research Institute with the best performing provenance (growth and form) from NZ based provenance trials of this species. This provenance was from Grant's Pass in Oregon, and the seed stand is now yielding regular quantities of open pollinated seed. This is suitable for planting as an edge tree on Douglas-fir plantations, or for inland areas where there are more climate extremes
All our seed is collected fresh, then processed, extracted, cleaned and refridgerated. Cutting tests are carried out on most seed species to determine percentage. We are able to achieve between 80% and 100% live seed on most species with our cleaning methods.
Should you purchase seed from us you will be assured of prompt service. Your seed will be delivered to you sealed in heavy plastic with the seed data relevant for that seedlot.
