Our Fabric Containers

Reduce Your Freight Costs

Fabric Containers reduce the overall volume and weight of our trees rootball, making them easier to
transport and plant. Our method allows 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 only fit 60-70. That’s more trees per load and more savings for you.
