PRT Hybrid is located in the Fraser Valley, forty-five minutes east of Vancouver, plant hardiness zone 8a, in the agricultural community of Pitt Meadows, British Columbia. Situated on the north side of the Fraser River in the lush Fraser Valley, the nursery is close to major transportation services with easy access to the U.S. border.

The nursery has a land base of 12.5 ha (32 acres). Annual production consists of 10 million 1+0 container seedlings and 3 million 2+0 open compound crops. All commercial tree species planted in Canada and the western United States can be grown at PRT Hybrid.

PRT Hybrid offers a full range of standard seedling products and related nursery services, and specializes in the following areas:

Large Seedlings for coastal sites with brush and animal problems. These are generally produced as 1+0 container seedlings, which are grown in large containers of up to 1,000 ml (61 cu in).

Seedlings for Summer and Fall Planting - custom growing programs provide well-conditioned seedlings for summer and fall planting.

2+0 Container Seedlings - the maritime climate provides an excellent environment for the production of 2+0 container seedlings due to minimal risk of root injury during the winter. These well-conditioned, robust and well-balanced plants are economical and provide high value, especially for sites that are subject to vegetative competition and/or snowpress. They are typically used for summer and fall planting on sites where moisture is not limiting, but can also be used for spring planting if grown in large containers.

Ornamental and Christmas Tree Liners - PRT Hybrid produces high quality ornamental and Christmas Tree liners for the horticultural industry.
