ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A planting apparatus comprises a frame 12 including a pair of inclined rear wheels 14 and a furrow-opening plough 20. The apparatus is adapted to be towed, for example by a tractor, such that the plough 20 opens a furrow and the wheels 14 thereafter close it. The frame 12 carries a plurality of turrets 32 adapted to contain seedlings 54 arranged on the rotatable carousel 34 over a chute 26 communicating with the trailing portion of the furrow- opening plough 20. The chute 26 is arranged for reciprocation from within the trailing portion 24 of the plough to a position close to the inclined wheels 14. The turrets are arranged so as to open in timed relationship with the movement of the chute to deposit a seedling into the chute when the latter is at or close to its most advanced position. The chute is provided with a lid 60 also arranged to open in timed relationship with the movement of the chute so as to clear the foliage of the seedling when the chute is at or close to its most rearward position at which the seedling is deposited into a furrow.
