Choosing quality planting material

The plant quality determines success in agroforestry establishment; particularly in relation to root development. Once the farmer has selected which tree species to use it is then important to select seedlings that are best suited to the farm conditions but also ensure that the seed stock is healthy (i.e. it comes without pests or diseases).

Featured Farm of the day

Wakelyns Agroforestry - a diverse organic silvoarable system in the UK

The general layout of the farm (Google Earth UK postcode IP21 5SD) is a series of 2 ha alley-cropping systems, with all production hedges aligned north-south on each side of 12m wide cropping areas. There are two coppice systems (hazel, willow), two mixed hardwood systems (ash, hornbeam, Italian alder, oak, small-leaved lime, sycamore, wild cherry, with or without apple) and two mixed fruit and nut systems. The organic crop rotation (cereals-ley-potatoes/squash-ley-cereals) runs as a single cycle around the whole farm.
