Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Ornamental tree and seedling cultivators grow and manage ornamental trees and seedlings, producing and shipping high-quality seedlings.
Description
Ornamental tree and seedling cultivators produce seedlings using propagation techniques such as seed sowing, cuttings, and grafting, and raise them healthily through pruning, fertilization, water management, and pest and disease control. They manage seedling environments in open fields or greenhouses and perform fertilizer management based on soil analysis and fertilization plans. Completed seedlings are shipped to landscaping companies, greening businesses, and home gardening markets. While skill transmission and mechanization for efficiency are progressing, powers of observation and meticulous work are required.
Future Outlook
While a shortage of successors due to aging is a challenge, stable employment is expected due to increasing demand for urban greening and environmental conservation.
