[CANUFNET] Sourcing Nursery Stock

[Crispin Wood]

Hello All,

I am interested in knowing what processes and/or practices municipalities
across Canada use to source and procure quality, caliper nursery stock to
be used for street/park plantings? I am particularly interested in whether
your organization produces its own caliper trees? If not, do you physically
select or tag trees at the nursery prior to purchase? If you do, how far do
you travel to do so?  and lastly, what criteria or specifications do you
use to define a 'quality' nursery tree?

Any feedback would be appreciated.
