- Type of planting materialSeeds
The process begins with seeds selected from improved trees in a forester's tree breeding program. For CellFor, this is a decision made in conjunction with our partners, some of the largest forest products companies in the world.
The seeds are sterilized and placed in a proprietary growth medium that induces embryogenesis, or the growth of embryonic tissue culture.
Once field testing is completed, and elite trees have been identified, fresh cultures can be taken from cryopreservation for use in large scale production.
Using numerous proprietary technologies CellFor has developed around the maturation step, which is key to the mass production of somatic embryos.
They are grown to healthy seedlings, eventually to be transferred to field plantings in an intensively managed plantation.
It starts with a seed, and ends with a healthy seedling. But the biggest results are in your profits.
