Plantation progress
Plantation progress
Average tree survival above 65% and improving.
Different planting methods are being tested, including establishing native trees within existing rosehip bushes.
Research & Monitoring
Research & Monitoring
Ongoing collaboration with INTA on Patagonian Cypress.
In May 2025, two field trials tested different container sizes and substrate types.
Seed & Regeneration
Seed & Regeneration
607 g
of Patagonian Cypress seed collected.
Potential for approximately 150,000–180,000 young trees.
Field learning
Field learning
Almahue tests different species, techniques and site conditions. What works — and what does not — guides what we do next.
Planting with natural shelter
Young native trees are tested within existing vegetation, including rosehip bushes, which can provide protection from wind, sun and animals.
Testing different species
Species are tested under different conditions to understand where they can establish successfully.
Adapting over time
Survival, regeneration and field observations help us improve planting methods and future restoration decisions.
