Hard to grow species? No problem.
Cultivated in a controlled environment, our biodegradable paper pots are grown to give you a longer planting window of 9 to 12 months versus the 4 to 6 months of a bare root product. The controlled environment also allows for production of "hard to find" species, along with "custom grows" that require specific species and seed provenance. Paper pots also offer reduced transplant stress compared to a bare root plant. No plastic waste to dispose of. Paper dissolves naturally, not need to remove!
What is a paper pot?
Our paper pots are equivalent in size and growth to our Premium Bare Root Seedlings. The primary difference is that tree bands are grown in 80mm diameter biodegradable paper pots that are approx. 1 quart.
How do Paper Pots Help?
We provide care to our nursery plants to protect them from diseases and pests. For many tree species, nursery raising is essential due to their slow growth and severe competition. Our paper pots, and all other products, are protected from diseases, pests and competition.
Why Paper Pots?
There are a number of reasons why a paper pot may be the best choice for your project.
- A planting window of 9 to 12 months versus 4 to 6 months for a bare root product
- Controlled propagation environment allows for production of those "hard to find" species
- Controlled growth environment creates ideal conditions for extremely vigorous plants
- Reduced transplant stress compared to bare root
- Allows for easier "custom grows" that require specific species and seed provenance
