Pot-in-Pot Trees
April 2002 Volume 15, No. 1

In addition to our balled and burlapped trees, Horsford’s now offers trees that we grow in containers sunk into the ground, grown by a method we refer to as “Pot-in-Pot.”

These are the trees we plant into our own fields each summer to produce the large specimen trees for which we’re known. Container growing has some distinct advantages:

-These trees can be transplanted anytime during the season as long as they are well watered.

-Containerized trees don’t stress out upon transplanting.

-Trees in pots are easier to handle and plant because they are smaller and weigh less.

-These smaller trees can save you hundreds of dollars if you’re willing to wait a couple more years for your trees to mature.

-Trees that have been traditionally difficult to transplant due to taproots are now handled easily and with more success.
