It is possible to run a tree nursery by growing seedlings of many species in containers, In large commercial nurseries, container-grown stock often include evergreens such as holly and yew, and ornamental trees such as garden cultivars of native species. Containerised plants do not have a large root-ball, and, with the exception of evergreens, should be treated as for bare-rooted stock and planted only in the dormant season. 2, record 2, English, - container%20grown%20stock

On peut actuellement trouver bon nombre de plantes en conteneur, cela va du petit conifère de 20 Cm de haut à l'arbre fruitier haute-tige ou même un chêne de 3-4 m de haut. Théoriquement, en conteneur, vous pouvez planter toute l'année car on n'arrache pas la plante, puisqu'elle est en pot (ou en sachet) et cultivée dans ce pot pendant plusieurs mois à plusieurs années. Mais, il y a toujours un mais, si au mois d'août, vous voulez planter un arbre de 2 m de haut avec une grande surface foliaire, que la température est assez élevée et qu'il ne pleut quasiment pas, plusieurs précaution doivent être prise : il faut arroser tous les jours (pas question de partir en vacances) voir deux fois par jour (par vent d'Est ou de canicule). Il est donc préférable de planter les grands sujets en conteneur en de meilleures conditions faute de quoi il sera difficile de le faire reprendre. 4, record 2, French, - v%C3%A9g%C3%A9tal%20en%20conteneur

Successful tree planting begins in the tree nursery with bimonthly cultivating, pruning of roots, and fertilization. This is essential to assure healthy trees and compact root structure. Planting holes for bare-root trees should be large enough to receive roots when they are spread in a natural position. Planting holes for balled and burlapped trees should be 2 feet wider than the root ball. Ideally, holes should be as wide and deep as can conveniently be made, so that the tree can be placed at the same levels as it originally grew in the nursery. 2, record 6, English, - tree%20planting
