From seed to specimen
Seed selection, germination, early development, acclimation and specimen review can all shape nursery work. The exact sequence varies by species and batch.
From seed to specimen
This sequence describes the cultivation principles behind our work. The exact path varies by species, batch and intended destination.
Seed-grown work starts with careful selection appropriate to the species and cultivation plan.
Conditions are observed and adjusted as young roots and shoots establish.
Juvenile plants are monitored through their most formative stage.
Growing conditions and acclimation are considered according to species and future handling.
Form, condition and suitability can be reviewed when preparing a commercial selection.
Requirements are assessed case by case, including destination rules and any applicable plant documentation.
Growing from seed can reveal variation and requires attention from the earliest stage. Exotic Green Nation publicly describes seed cultivation as part of its work with Yuccas, Agaves and other unusual plants.
Conditions suitable during cultivation may differ from those required for handling, transport or a future site. Guidance should therefore be discussed for the relevant plant and destination.
