Does anybody know if bare root tree seedling have a code on them showing if they've been grown in two places (or not) before shipment for planting?

Like 3 0 for 3 years in one places and none in another, or 3 2 for 3 in one place and 2 in another.

If anybody knows that would be very handy, I'm trying a few sources of info in a 'scatter gun' approach...

Thanks

In reply to Timmd:

If a tree is described as 2 + 1 this means it has spent 2 years in a seed bed and then been transplanted to another bed in the nursery to grow on for one more year . This transplanting promotes the growth of fibrous roots which help a young tree establish itself . Is this what you were after ?
