Specimen Trees grown in In-Ground Smart Pots®

The Smart Pot-In-Ground ® is a non-woven polypropylene fabric container for the growing of plants in the ground. Meyer Nursery Specimen Trees are grown in these containers and have many advantages over ball and burlap (B&B) plant material, especially for transplanting:

Root System Advantages:

• Feeder roots are contained inside the fabric bag.
• Roots do not circle.
• Healthier secondary root branching.
• 80 % or more of the root system is harvested when dug.

Shipping Advantages:

• We can harvest year around, unlike B&B material.
• Smaller root ball size equates to less weight to ship, about ½ that of a B&B.
• Nearly twice as many trees can be hauled in the same space as B&B.

Specimen Tree Quality:

• Better, healthier root system in a smaller, lighter weight root ball.
• Ease of handling, and transplanting with lighter weight root ball requiring less equipment and manpower.
• Fabric is tougher then burlap and will not rot when the plant is held.
• Better root structure provides for faster establishment in a box or in the ground when transplanted.
• Soil mix more closely resembles customer’s heavier soils for better, quicker establishment.

Meyer Nursery grows 1 ¾” to 3” (plus) Specimen Trees in 21” Smart Pot-In-Ground ® for your growing, and transplanting needs.

NOTE: Please remember the Smart Pot-In-Ground ® is a non-woven polypropylene fabric container and must be removed for planting along with the wire basket.
