IT’S ALL IN THE ACCREDITATION
26 Apr 2016
Speciality Trees knows why it’s important to have the right attitude and the right accreditation in the nursery industry, and you should too.
The nursery industry is all about having the right attitude - one of quality attainment. To be accredited means that a production nursery has an appreciation for best practice processes. The NIASA (Nursery Industry Accreditation Scheme Australia), EcoHort and BioSecure HACCP are national accreditation schemes with the purpose of reassuring the buyer of industry best practice. They also highlight the growers already investing time and money in quality, processes and product performance.
The importance of accreditation is again reinforced with the introduction of the Australian Standard AS2303 – Tree Stock for Landscape Use. AS2303 provides technical above and below the ground information to evaluate the quality of tree material grown by production nurseries. It tries to simplify the specification process and educate buyers about quality. Above all it encourages growers to be accountable for their product.
Understanding why these exist and how they impact upon the tree you buy in the nursery is vitally important. It can be the difference between a tree’s success and failure in the landscape.
Speciality Trees are accredited leaders in the production of quality advanced landscaping trees for the landscaping market. They carry over 320 lines of native, deciduous and evergreen trees, from 30cm to 300 litres all of which benefit from accreditation and best practice attitudes that they employ.
