Nurseries - Seedlings & Macro-Propagation

BARCA operates its tree nursery in Costa Rica to meet 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 valuable native tropical species (cristobal, rosewood, pilon, melina etc.) to be planted in our local projects or to satisfy our costumers’ needs. Some of BARCA´s native seedlings are the result of over 20 years of specialized forestry and many years of genetic improvement work in Costa Rica. We have cultivated over 54 different species of tropical hardwoods, many of them rare or endemic to the region, and some have never befores been reproduced in a nursery. Nursery supervisor Jose Corrales and forestry director Ricardo Lujan personally ensure that all BARCA seedlings are of the highest quality.

Our main production methods are through the use of seeds of the highest genetic quality or cuttings (macroprogation) obtained from evaluated and selected trees (“plus trees”), both produced under controlled environmental conditions. Among the species we produce are clones of teak, melina, pilón and cristobal, products of BARCA´s genetic improvement program.

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

In our nursery we have experience in the production of the following species:
