Seedling Quality

Melaleuca alternifolia seedlings

High terpinen-4-ol to produce Pharmaceutical Grade Australian Tea tree Oil.

Sturdy and vigorous cell grown and fully hardened to suit mechanical transplanting and trouble free plantation establishment, over 8 million produced per annum.

Plants are grown in individual cells in specially designed greenhouses with an emphasis on quality and health.
Young plants enjoy the optimum light, air flow and nutrients to encourage steady even growth. Greenhouses with modern irrigation and fertigation contain up to 750,000 seedlings each.
Plants are trimmed and allowed to re-shoot prior to moving from the greenhouse to the hardening area. Trimming encourages bushiness and more leaf at first harvest.
Seedlings when planted out give a good strike rate, establish quickly and grow evenly.
