Our NEW eco-friendly planting method has officially been rolled out!

The Tree Bag is a biodegradable planting container designed to simplify tree transplantation and promote healthy root development. Once a tree, planted in a bag, is placed in the ground, it offers several advantages over potted, bare-root, or balled-and-burlapped (B&B) trees:

IMPORTANT! read before planting:

STEP 1

Remove tree and pot from box.

Prepare the Planting Site: Dig a hole twice as wide and equal in depth to the TreeBag. Ensure the site has well-draining soil.

STEP 2

Remove tree from soil and pot.

STEP 3

Place bag and root ball into hole. Make sure the top of the bag with the metal twist tie is above the soil line. Fill the hole with native soil, pressing gently to eliminate air pockets.

STEP 4

Remove metal twist tie. Water the area deeply to settle the soil and initiate the TreeBag's decomposition process.

Do I need to cut or remove the bag before planting?

No, the bag is designed to break down on its own. However, if you want to speed up the process, you can make a few small slits in the fabric before planting.

Is the TreeBag safe for the environment?

Yes! The materials are biodegradable and do not introduce harmful plastics or chemicals into the soil.

How long does the TreeBag take to decompose?

The TreeBag typically decomposes within 1-2 growing seasons, depending on soil conditions.

Is the TreeBag suitable for all tree species?

Yes, the TreeBag is versatile and can be used with various tree species.

Can I use fertilizers with the TreeBag?

Yes, applying appropriate fertilizers can enhance tree growth. Ensure they are compatible with biodegradable materials.
