Saplings for contractors and agronomists: lots for your projects.

Sapling price for the client estimate

A contractor needs the sapling price for the estimate before the contract with the farm: trees × the price of the grade. The price depends on crop and grade, not on cultivar. The grade is the branch count of a knip apple tree; sweet cherry has no grades.

The grade moves the estimate: the gap between 1+ and 5+ is RUB 90 per tree, RUB 1,305,000 with VAT on 14,500 saplings, so fix the grade in the project before the request. The sapling calculator gives the tree count per project: it divides a hectare by one tree’s area and rounds up to the step of 250. The full price list by grade and stock per cultivar are on the page sapling prices, and how a knip tree differs from a two-year tree is explained on the page knip apple trees.

How to assemble a lot for several projects

Several client projects in one order count as one lot: if together they reach 6,000 saplings, the whole order is at list price. Send all the projects in one request and the sales desk will calculate the lot as a whole. The nursery confirms stock per cultivar on the date of the request.

For 29,000 saplings of grade 3+ the invoice at the prices of 9 October 2026 is 29,000 × 400 = RUB 11,600,000 including VAT. The payment on signing is 30%, that is RUB 3,480,000, and the balance of RUB 8,120,000 is due 10 days before pickup. Lots below 6,000 saplings and from 1,000 are priced with a small-lot surcharge, and the nursery gives its size in the quote.

A request for several projects holds, for each of them:

• the project or client farm name, so lot positions do not mix;
• cultivar and grade for each position;
• sapling count, or area and layout if the count is not yet calculated;
• lifting window: October–November or March–April;
• buyer details for the contract and invoice.

Lifting windows and the work schedule on site

Saplings are lifted in October–November and March–April, and the trellis and irrigation on the client’s plot must be ready by planting day. So the pickup date follows the contractor’s schedule, not the other way round. A spring 2027 reservation is best made early on the pre-order page.

The article when to plant saplings: spring or autumn explains which season suits a plot, and intensive orchard planting: the technology by month lays out the work from soil analysis to first care.

Documents and pickup

Every lot comes with a phytosanitary certificate, and the contractor passes it to the client with the rest of the project documents. The lot is collected at the yard in Sunzha, ul. Traktovaya 17, and loaded into your vehicle.

• Phytosanitary certificate for the lot.
• A contract with 30% on signing and the balance 10 days before pickup.
• An invoice at the price list including VAT.
• Saplings marked by cultivar and grade at loading.

What to check on acceptance is covered in documents for saplings, and the loading routine on the page sorting and pickup.

What the nursery gives a contractor besides saplings

The nursery agronomist advises on cultivars, rootstock, planting layout and dates, and the advice can go into the client’s project. The M9 and Gisela 5 and 6 rootstocks are described on rootstocks for apple and sweet cherry, the cultivars in the apple catalog.

If the client needs a whole orchard and not only saplings, the nursery plants orchards turnkey with partner contractors, see turnkey orchard planting. It does not sell trellis, irrigation or hail nets, but can point to contractors for that work.
