Abstract

This paper presents containerized forest nursery practices in Sweden. Containerized stock was introduced some 30 years ago in Swedish forestry. Since then, the use of this stock has been successively increased at the expense of bare-root stock. Last year, approximately 400 million containerized and 30 million bare-root seedlings were produced in Sweden.
