Transplanting of vegetable and tree seedlings are generally the same.
Generally, vegetable seedlings are ready for transplanting when they are one month old or have 4 -6 leaves or are about 10-15cm in height.
Before transplanting, the nursery bed is adequately watered 3 - 4 hours before lifting the seedlings.
This ensures the seedlings are lifted easily with a ball of earth around the roots to minimize root damage.
Tree seedlings take a little longer to reach transplanting age compared to vegetable crop seedlings.
The roots are trimmed before lifting the seedlings.
Transplanting should be done at the onset of the long rains to give the young trees a good start.
After transplanting the young trees should be protected from damage by animals for a period of about one year.
