• W932180568 abstract "I agreed to present this paper because I feel foresters in the private sector, with their extensive experience in the field, have much to offer on this topic and should become more involved in seminars, meetings and workshops. I then, however, got a bit nervous when I realised I would be talking about plant quality to an audience that would consist of the cream of the nursery sector in Ireland, if not the world, and I wondered what could I tell these people about plant quality. However, to begin I need to clarify two terms. Firstly I feel I need to clarify the word `grower'. A grower in this instance refers to the forester or private forestry company utilising plants supplied by the nursery sector to establish a plantation on behalf of a farmer or investor. The second issue which I wish to clarify is the understanding of the words 'plant quality'. In my opinion plant quality only partially refers to physical appearance, size or straightness but it primarily refers to the essence of the tree, its genetic make-up and the level of confidence a forester can have in its source and traceability. When I actually thought about this topic I found that every grower or forester within Green Belt has issues with plant quality. I should know as I tend to get their frustrations on this topic regularly. I will therefore concentrate on the issues raised by our foresters on a regular basis in relation to plant quality and the overall standard of planting stock available generally. The issues our foresters have with plant quality arc not with the physical attributes of the plants provided by the nursery sector today but are more to do with broader issues that arc possibly more difficult to solve. For the purpose of this paper I have concentrated on figures and issues within Green Belt alone rather than the entire afforestation sector, However, our company has approximately 40% market share, so our concerns can realistically he taken as being representative of the overall afforestation market. Green Belt has planted almost 20 million trees in the last two years, representing 17,000 acres of new plantation. The responsibility is on us to plant the best provenances available, and to establish quality plantations that fulfill the principles of sustainable forest management (SFM), the needs of the plantation owner, and the needs of future markets is immense and is paramount to everything else we do. It is only when you quantify the areas and the tree numbers, and add these to the fact that these trees are going to be here for 35 to 120 years minimum, that you realise the implications of what we arc doing, The importance of plant quality can therefore never be understated. Our issues with plant quality are: • Confidence; • The conifer issue; • The broadleaf issue. I will not be concentrating on other issues such as whether plants achieve specific size categories or have certain physical attributes as outlined by others, as these specifications are predominately met anyway." @default.
