Establishment of seed orchards
The Department of Ecological Genetics and Biodiversity will be pleased to advise you on the establishment and funding possibilities for private forest seed orchards. From the selection of clones (plus trees) to the propagation of the same by grafting, to the planting out on the final site; all services can be carried out by the Experimental Garden team on request.
