Grow healthy forests that survive the test of time
Our locally-adapted mycorrhizal fungi pellets enhance tree planting success, and fit effortlessly into your planting process, ensuring that new saplings flourish, build resilience to drought, and overcome the mortality rates so often seen across the forestry industry.
Boost Survival Rates
Our Rhizopellet increases newly planted tree survival by 25%, reducing early mortality through enhanced soil connectivity.
Drought Resilience
Rhizopellets enhance drought tolerance, potentially saving up to £1600 per hectare. This is based on climate models for Scottish plantations from 2020 to 2080 (Petr et al., 2015).
BioFertiliser
With a single application, Rhizopellets can reduce fertilizer costs by £500 per hectare, effectively replacing chemical fertilizers and complying with regulatory restrictions.
How Rhizopellets work
Whether you’re reforesting native natural land, growing commercial woodland, or turning to reforestation to generate your own carbon, our mycorrhizal fungal pellets (Rhizopellets) are designed for the biggest impact, and the least fuss.
Planting our Rhizopellet
Place your Rhizopellet into the topsoil - around 10-15cm from the surface. This gives the fungi the best chance of connecting with the tree's roots.
Then you’re all set. Repeat for every tree on your land, and watch them grow into a forest of thriving, healthy trees.
The Problem
Today, trees are being planted without the beneficial fungi they depend on, leading to slower tree growth, more susceptibility to drought and disease, and less carbon sequestration.
The Solution
We make fungal inocula adapted for commercial trees, with strains screened for optimal tree growth and soil carbon sequestration. We are a net-zero enabling business.
“When we plant trees, it’s crucial to remember that we’re not just nurturing the sapling itself, but also the entire environment surrounding it. It is through this perspective that we begin to realize the extraordinary potential of fungi in revitalizing our planet’s well-being.”
– Toby Parkes (Rhizocore CEO)
Mycorrhizal fungi can reduce rotation lengths
-Quicker growth in the first 10 years leads to shorter rotation lengths
-This is because trees reach maturity quicker
-A five to ten year head start increases forestry profits by £1,875 - 3,750 per ha*
*Using a Sitka Spruce model with a yield class of 14 m3 per ha per year, a standing timber value of £26.78 per m3 and a 40-year rotation length
