Forestart offers a range of services
aimed at meeting our customer's evolving needs. These include:
Contract seed collection
Where customers require seed from a specific provenance or location we offer to source, collect, extract and stratify seed to meet this requirement. We ask customers to offer plenty of lead time as certain seeds are not easily collectable and most seeds require stratification.
Customer's own seed
We offer extraction and stratification services for both conifers and broadleaves. We can also test customers seed in our laboratory to provide the information required for sowing.
Seed for cell growers
We are able to clean and grade seed of most types to high standards for use in cell growing. This greatly reduces the number of seeds that have to be sown per cell.
Storage
Our premises have large cold storage facilities where we can store seed for varying lengths of time with minimal loss of quality.
