Nurseries - Seedlings & Macro-Propagation

BARCA operates tree nurseries in Costa Rica and Panama in order to supply local and international market demand, while maintaining the standards of quality and production established by our company. Tree production includes quality tropical hardwoods like teak, as well as precious native tropical species to be planted in our local projects or to satisfy our costumers’ needs. BARCA native seedling are a product of over 20 years of specialized forestry and many years of genetic improvement work in Costa Rica. We have grown over 54 different species of tropical hardwoods, many of them rare to endemic of the region, some of which have never before been reproduced in a nursery. Nursery Supervisor Evelyn Ramírez, and Chief Forester Ricardo Lujan personally ensure that all of BARCA's seedlings are of the highest quality. 

Our main production methods are through the use of the highest genetic quality seeds or with cuttings obtained from evaluated and selected trees (“plus trees”), both produced under controlled environmental conditions. We also have genetic "super" teak clones certified by ONS (Oficina Nacional de Semillas) that will maximize growth, quality and yield.

We also offer consulting services in the design, construction and implementation of private nurseries, according to our costumer’s capacity.
