The invention relates to a method for the feeding of plants (30), especially the feeding of forest plants, from a plant storage unit (100) for such plants arranged in rows to a feeding inlet of a plant receiver (50) for the transfer of said plants to an automatic planting apparatus directly or via a plant feeding conduit. It is characterized by that a plant storage unit (100) for plants (30) is placed in a plant carrier (2), that a gripping tool (20) by means of lengthwise and crosswise transferring means (10, 12; 64, 66) are brought forward to each plant (30) one by one, that each plant is seized and brought up from its seat in the plant storage unit (100) by way of bringing apart the gripping tool (20) and the plant carrier (2) in vertical direction, and that the gripping tool then is moved to a plant receiver (50) and deposits the plant (30) in its feeding inlet (52). The invention also includes an apparatus for the performing of the method. |
