tree nursery
Young plant facility
A tree nursery is a place where young trees and shrubs are grown for later transplanting.
Commercial nurseries supply landscapers, orchards, and reforestation projects; hobbyists may maintain smaller operations.
The trees are typically started from seeds or cuttings and cultivated until they're sturdy enough to survive transplanting: We bought a dozen maples from the tree nursery.
