Why Plant Our Stock

Recent advances in biotechnology provide opportunities to enhance the value of the radiata pine forests of tomorrow. Forest Genetics CellFor Ltd uses ‘state-of-the-art’ tree breeding, variety selection, tissue culture and vegetative propagation methods to produce tree stocks that are superior to those available in the market today.

Use of our planting stock adds substantial additional value to new forest plantations by providing trees with characteristics substantially superior to those currently available. Genetic improvements from our Production Varieties will provide substantial increases in growth rate, log and wood quality and disease resistance.

In addition, forests planted with our Production Varieties will capture 25% more carbon from the atmosphere than forests today. Our planting stock has the potential to substantially contribute to reduction of the effects of global warming.
