Episode 124 - Michael Taylor is an experienced Nursery Manager and Grower.
Michael Taylor is an experienced Nursery Manager and Grower
passionate about helping nurseries improve plant quality and workflows. He is
currently working on projects across North America that increase tree
production capacity for reforestation, urban forestry, plantation forestry, and
wildfire restoration.
Michael does consulting work with the Blackmore Company
which comes up with “solutions designed for the advancement of agribusiness.”
The company’s automated machinery addresses tree seedling root issues while improving
the overall quality of the seedlings.
A self-proclaimed tree nerd, Michael enjoys diving deep into
the physiology and morphology of plants to understand their needs. He is a stickler
for root architecture and believes we shouldn’t have to trade quality for
production.
When he’s not helping people grow trees, he lives in Florida
where he helps grow high-end tropical foliage at his family’s nursery. Prior to
moving to Florida, Michael spent 15 years in the forestry profession in the
Pacific Northwest managing large-scale bareroot tree farms, greenhouses, and
seed processing plants. Michael earned a Master of Science in Forest Science in
Nursery Management and Reforestation and a Bachelor of Science in Forest Management
from Oregon State University.
