Diospyros sandwicensis seedlings
Lama seedlings grown in dibble tubes at the Hawaii State Tree Nursery, Waimea, Hawaii Island, Hawaii. Lama grows slowly; these seedlings were sown 15 months before the photo was taken. Note how the racks for the dibble tubes are built with easily shipped tops and bases and put together locally with PVC pipe. Shipping nursery containers and racks to the Pacific often doubles the cost, so any way to ship less bulky supplies is helpful. Note also how each rack of seedlings is labeled with the date the seed was sown or transplanted and the origin of the seeds.
