Fall Trees (Plugs Only)

A tree plug or also called a containerized seedling is a young tree seedling that has been grown in a controlled environment, typically in a specialized tray or container with individual cells, forming a compact root ball. This method of propagation ensures a well-developed and undisturbed root system, making the seedling robust and ready for transplanting.

Benefits of Tree Plugs for your Planting Projects:

  • Higher Survival Rates: The intact root ball minimizes transplant shock, leading to significantly higher survival rates compared to bare-root seedlings.
  • Faster Establishment: With a healthy and compact root system, tree plugs establish quickly in their new environment, promoting rapid growth.
  • Reduced Labor: Their uniform size and well-contained root systems make them easier and quicker to plant, saving time and labor costs.
  • Extended Planting Season: Because the roots are protected, tree plugs can often be planted over a wider window than bare-root stock, offering more flexibility for your projects.
  • Consistent Quality: Grown in controlled conditions, tree plugs offer consistent quality and vigor, ensuring a more uniform planting.
  • Less Root Disturbance: The contained root system means less damage during transport and planting, leading to healthier trees from day one.
