Direct sowing eliminates transplant shock, root cuts and root deformation. Taproots and fine roots develop freely in native forest soil from day one.
This makes trees far more resilient long-term—invaluable in a changing climate.
Our specially developed seed coating significantly reduces the typical risks of direct seeding.
The coating separates even the smallest seeds for precise mechanical or manual spreading.
The coating masks the seeds from birds and mice, preventing predation.
The coating supports the microbial environment, enabling germination rates of up to 80% depending on site conditions.
Developed and approved specifically for forestry, compliant with the Fertilizer Ordinance (DüV).
Planted seedlings often suffer from root deformities, which negatively affect growth and stability.

Skyseed-coated seedlings show deep root development within the first years. They also display improved nutrient and water uptake, which contributes to long-term stability.

We prime forest seeds for optimal germination, through precision stratification (the placement of the seeds). Through our sowing process, we eliminate the natural dormancy of the winter, removing months of waiting.
Seeds are coated at our production facility in Külsheim, Baden-Württemberg.
Most tree, herb and shrub species can be coated with the matrix.
Our professional cold storage and continuous quality checks guarantee optimal conditions for the seeds and pellets.
