Planting Stock Age Classes –
Bare root stock is often sold using an age class designation, such as 1+0, 3+0 or 1+2. The first number refers to the amount of years spent in a seedbed. For example, a 3+0 designation means the tree spent three years in a seed bed. The second number refers to the number of years spent in a transplant bed. For example, 1+2 designation means the tree spent one year in a seedbed, then lifted and planted in a transplant bed and grown for another two years (transplant improves root development and increases stem calliper).
Plug plants are seedlings raised in small, individual cells of peat moss. The root system is smaller than a bare root seedling, generally 2” x 4” in size. A one year old plug seedling would be referred to as a P+1
