Abstract

Tree seedlings for planting in city and other green areas are available on the market as supplies. All the supplies are subject to some sort of categorization and standardization. The same goes for seedling material.
However, there are no written technical and qualitative standards for the supplies of ornamental plants from domestic nursery-gardens, or imported ornamental plants on our market, which would determine and define their quality. In practice we often come across examples of unclear classifications and descriptions of ornamental trees and shrubbery written by landscape architects, suppliers of seedling material, nursery-garden specialists and other people in the branch. This impedes business and communication between landscape architects, providers and contractors. Therefore our aim at this symposium is to inform the public and to invite respected colleagues, nursery-garden specialists and landscape architects to join us in setting norms and standards for ornamental plants. This will enable more precise determination of seedling material we produce, acquire, plant or plan.
Since the date of our country's admission to the EU is approaching, it would be wise to prepare and set our own, and accept their code of conduct. European technical and qualitative standards for seedling material which are now in effect and used in the EU certainly make a good basis for defining our own norms.
