We are a group of seed savers from coast to coast who protect Canada's seed biodiversity by growing it ourselves and sharing it with others. Every year, we multiply the most vulnerable seed varieties that we can, exchange seeds with each other, and keep those varieties alive and in cultivation for future gardeners to enjoy. 3, record 1, English, - Seeds%20of%20Diversity%20Canada

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

Conteneurs. Récipient dans lequel on élève les plantes. Les conteneurs se présentent le plus souvent sous forme de pots en matière plastique. Les végétaux en conteneurs sont donc cultivés hors sol. 1, record 2, French, - v%C3%A9g%C3%A9tal%20en%20conteneur

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
