Why fabric containers?
Unlike traditional growing and harvesting methods which suffer from circling roots, transplant shock, and seasonal harvesting limitations, our fabric container trees are built for success from day one.
The Fabric Container Process
Year-Round Harvest
Because our trees are grown in-ground in RCB, we aren’t limited by seasonal digging windows. We can harvest and ship trees anytime—keeping your projects on schedule, even in the off-season.
Grown in Native Soil
Our trees are grown in fabric containers with specialized amendments, including plant nutrients as well as biologics, which remain in the rootball. The trees are then installed directly in the ground and backfilled with native soil.
Unmatched Survival
With Root Control Bags (RCB), 90 percent of the root system remains intact. You can expect less transplant shock regardless of the planting season. By saving a significant amount of the roots during harvesting, you can expect loss to shrink drastically.
Root Control fabric Containers
The Mosty Difference
We believe that better roots mean better trees—and that’s why we use RCB for growing our trees. Designed to maximize root health, improve transplant success, and increase overall tree performance.
A soft-sided fabric container helps do a better job of growing and transplanting trees. Fabric containers eliminate damaging root circling and extend the harvesting season. But more importantly, it creates a fibrous root pruning effect that gives trees a head-start above others. Plus, trees grown in fabric containers are jobsite tough—handling the harsh environments of construction zones without sacrificing quality.
Truckload Capacity
You Save, We Ship More
A 40-foot gooseneck trailer can carry up to 55 trees at 3″ caliper (equivalent to a 45 gallon plastic container), while a 53-foot semi can transport up to 100 trees at 3″ caliper.
Our method reduces your freight costs with fabric containers by allowing us to fit up to 40% more trees per truckload compared to traditional B&B or hard-sided container trees, reducing shipping costs and maximizing value. For instance, we can fit 100 three-inch caliper trees on a semi-trailer, while competitors using B&B or hard-sided containers typically fit only 60–70. That’s more trees per load and more savings for you.
