Most of our harvesting has finished for this season. The main species left to collect is Scots pine - we have checked the crop on the native Caledonian pine stands and will be using local tree climbers to harvest those cones in the new year.

One of our main roles is as a stock holder, ensuring that we collect and store enough seed in good years to meet demand in poor crop years.  It is vital that nurseries have a reliable seed supplier that can meet the majority of their needs consistently. Hence the fact that we have collected and processed so much hawthorn and beech this year, and other species that cropped well.
