Quality & Precision
Quality & Precision
We strive for the highest quality seedlings and transplant survivability possible. We attain this by attention to detail, in the methods we use to plant, grow and harvest. White City Nursery (WCN) uses a precision planter to plant seeds at the proper depth and density with uniform spacing for maximum seedling quality, uniformity, and vigor. Under-cutting is performed twice a year; once in the fall and at harvesting to preserve lateral root growth which is crucial for survival. Seedlings are carefully packaged and stored in a refrigerated cooler until pick up.
