Seedling Quality Evaluation
We will begin accepting and evaluating container seedlings beginning October 2021.
We will begin accepting and evaluating bareroot seedlings in January 2021.
Very Important: Please contact Elizabeth Bowersock (334-844-1012/bowerep@auburn.edu) or Nina Payne (334-844-4917/nina.payne@auburn.edu) before sending your seedlings to ensure we can process your seedlings in an expedient manner between our normal processing of Nursery Cooperative research studies.
Important things you need to know:
- One sample = 30 seedlings. Be sure we have at least 30 seedlings.
- Cost - $40 for one bareroot sample; $45 for one container sample.
- We will send you an invoice at the end of the season.
- Multiple samples can be shipped together as long as the seedlings samples are clearly identified.
- A "Sample Submission Form" must accompany each sample.
- Ship seedlings dry – no ice. Ship so they arrive in 2 days and are NOT in transit over the weekend.
Communication between your company and the Nursery Cooperative is key to the success of this project. Call us with any questions, concerns, or suggestions!
