DIRECT TREE SEEDING

During our many years of experience we have developed a technique to provide a unique re-vegetation service by directly sowing tree and shrub species onto hostile sites.

CDTS South & East has built up a unique database of knowledge and developed equipment specifically for direct tree seeding.

Direct tree seeding is best suited to different sites with low nutrient poor soils or subsoils, for example mining waste, demolition sites, coastal sites or any environment where traditionally planted trees will struggle to thrive due to the nature of the site. Because the treated seeds are sown directly onto site the seedlings establish themselves in their final environment, putting down strong roots to establish themselves, which enables them to thrive in the environment which traditionally planted trees can suffer badly in and fail to establish.

Direct tree seeding projects are evaluated based on data gathered on seed viability and field emergence rates to establish the likely success of establishing a seedling per m2 per given quantity of seed. With this information it is possible to produce a balanced naturally establishing woodland mimicking natural regeneration with the desired number of seedlings per m2 in the correct ratio.

We have long been the leaders of direct tree seeding in the UK. It is imperative that careful, informed specification writing and industry leading execution are employed to ensure success.

If you would like more detailed information about the direct tree seeding process this is readily available via our highly experienced team who will be more than happy to help.
