What are Tubestock Plants?
Tubestock are small plants that have been grown to develop good roots systems, the name comes from the small round pots that they are grown in.
These are seedling plants and include trees and shubs of all types including Australian native seedling trees or ‘ Tubestock’.
- For mass planting it takes away some of the inherent risks of direct sowing seeds.
- For growing on to larger plants they let specialist plant propagators with the right facilities do the initial work, and other nurseries grow them on to more saleable size.
- For home gardeners and landsapers they allow new gardens to be planted out at a more econical rate.
- Tubestock will generally have a more developed root system than potted plants for the pot size, so they can actually grow very quickly. Pot size is not always a good indicator of the root system.
Tubestock are the smallest form of plant generally sold by both wholesale and retail nurseries and they are sold for a range of purposes including revegetation where large numbers of plants are requires as well as for growing on to larger sizes. Generally 3 sizes of tubes are available 42mm, 50mm and 75mm depending on the grower.
