British Nursery Reports Success With Finnish Transplanting Technique

With the continuing shortage of British labor, new techniques in producing forest trees had to be found. In May 1970 I made an extensive tour of Finland to study nursery techniques. I looked first at the Japanese paper pot system, now widely used there. The main species to be produced by this method are Scots pine and birch, but it has a good future for many species; most important, I think, is Corsican pine. Transporting pots to the forest is a problem as they have to be carried in trays.
