Forest seeds

It can take 50-100 years from when you plant a seed until you harvest the tree. Therefore, it is crucial to know what you are getting and that it is of the best quality. We supply seeds for the production of shrubs and trees to nurseries, forest growers, and Christmas tree growers throughout Europe. For us, high technical quality goes hand in hand with the best genetics, which results in healthy and vigorous trees. With our own seed orchards, Dalgas is a seed producer you can rely on.

Origin assurance

Our forests are vulnerable to climate change. Therefore, it is important to select the best genetics in trees and shrubs. With over 150 years of experience in seed breeding and forest cultivation, we build our expertise on our extensive experience.

As your seed producer, we continuously perform quality control – from harvest to finished seed – ready for nursery or forest growers. This way, we can provide precise documentation for the seed’s journey.

Services

We don’t just sell seeds. We are involved in all processes related to seeds. Therefore, we can also offer various services – for both our own and external seed lots.

Our services

Most seeds are naturally dormant and require pre-treatment. With pre-treatment, we ensure high and uniform germination.

During pre-treatment, the seeds are continuously monitored to ensure the right conditions in terms of humidity and temperature. We regularly take germination samples during pre-treatment and provide germination capacity information at the latest upon delivery.

  • Short-term pre-treatment, 1-3 months – 55 DKK/kg
  • Long-term pre-treatment, up to 12 months – 290 DKK/kg

Pre-treatment, however, requires that the order is received in good time so that the seeds can be ready for sowing.

We can offer to clean your seed lot, whether it is delivered as cones or as cleaned seeds that need further treatment.

For an increasing proportion of the produced seeds, the highest possible quality is required for sowing in plug/container. This is achieved through subsequent cleaning on a series of special machines. Here, the highest quality is aimed for in terms of vitality and purity with uniform size, weight, and color.

We continuously invest in machines to improve the result, including optical sorting technology, where the machine takes pictures of individual seeds and sorts out bad seeds and impurities.
