Improved seeds can mean increased seedling survival rate in the field, as superior stock results in stronger seedlings. As the trees grow, their form, vigor, resistance to diseases and pests, ability to regrow quickly after lopping, and yields over time can be far better as a result of using improved seed. The difference of a few cents per tree for improved seed at the outset of the project can be returned many fold due to improved survival, yields and health. Trees are a long-term investment. Even small increases in growth rate or quality can lead to a much better return on investment over the course of years.
Superior seeds mean better survival, faster growth, and improved yields.
