Local seed origin zones - UK

The local seed zones used in our database are taken from the Forestry Authority Practice Note FCPN8, titled: 'Using Local Stock for Planting Native Trees and Shrubs'. You can download a copy of this note from http://www.forestry.gov.uk/website/PDF.nsf/pdf/fcpn8.pdf/$FILE/fcpn8.pdf Adobe Acrobat format, although the file is 4.4MB and takes a while to download. A better option is to order a free paper copy of the publication from: forestry@twoten.press.net, or from:
Forestry Commission, PO Box 25, Wetherby, West Yorkshire, LS23 7EW.

Caledonian Pine Bio-Regions

The Caledonain Pinewood inventory classifies the 'natural' Scots Pine distribution in Scotland into bio-chemical regions. These regions are marked on the above map.

A copy of the inventory can be obtained free on disk from the Forestry Authority by emailing: liz.kirk@forestry.gsi.gov.uk

Please state whether you have Microsoft Access database software, if you don't, you can get a run-time version of the inventory on four disks.

Please remember to tell the nurseries that you found them through TreeTrader. To help us improve our service, please let us know how you get on buying trees from the nurseries or even just getting information, email us at: happycustomer@TreeTrader.co.uk.
