Exactly. Shouldn't have to be complicated

ArborGen Greenhouse Approved for L3 Quarantine

Some newsflow at last. Good to see some wider thinking by Aborgen, employing its local skills and infrastructure. Likely to be small scale revenue but applying the Te Teko nursery to horticultural production will help to defray costs at the establishment. It could become a growing business in NZ and will help the horticultural industry.

Mr. Mann said, "Forestry is our core business, but we can use the assets and
plant-growing skills we have to grow a range of high-value horticultural
species such as hops, blueberries and strawberries.

Yeh right. CBD could buy out Arborgen NZ. Lots of cannabis is grown amongst trees.

Arbogens trees are used to produce huge monocultures of exotic forestry significantly changing the natural soil organisms. They are killing off biodiversity and they are highly receptive to all sorts of pests. This is exactly the opposite to creating sustainable forests and increasing biodiversity.

Excellent point and for the sake of future generation, let's hope that the tree huggers & wood pushers understand that requirement.
Nobody is seriously expecting any single company, be it Arbogen or whosoever, to be a major contributor to the planting of a trillion trees (1,000,000,000,000)!
Question of who has got the expertise and grunt to supply as many as possible - considering Arbogen's trees are meant to be harvested in any case.
Guess like our Jacinda's 1 billion trees to be planted, the world will be lucky to do 10% of that trillion trees unless it is commercial - like plantation forests.

Planting a trillion trees might just be a good way to get a whole bunch of politically excitable young people out of the cities, where they have a propensity to protest, riot, and revolt.
Five years in a barracks on the volcanic plateau should keep 'em out of mischief.

Does the Government sell carbon offset rights as part of its tree planting? Back in the 1930s when squads of employed were sent to plant Kaiangaroa, the aim was to create a forest with future economic value. Perhaps that is too bourgeoisie for the Labour-Greens?
Maybe Arborgen NZ can clone native trees as well as pinus radiata? Where there is a buck, there is a way.
