Rootrainers are an unique container system for the propagation of seeds and cuttings.
Manufactured in our own factory in Scotland they are now used internationally for many types of plants.

Rootrainers have numerous advantages over other forms of containers:

• the hinged opening enables the plants to be inspected or removed with greatly reduced risk of damage or 'shock'
• the internal grooves and greater depth promote optimum root formation-and sturdier plants
• there is a variety of sizes available to suit different plants
• economical use of bench space
• they are reusable, lightweight and can be flat-packed
• made from recycled plastic
• afford the opportunity for direct sticking into individual cells
• allow faster and simpler potting on or planting out
• lend themselves to mechanisation
• ideally suited for large or small scale production
• brings all year round use of facilities for Tree Nurseries with 2 or more cycles per year
• produces high quality, fully graded plants within a shorter production time
  
  

Overall benefits of using Rootrainers

Anyone who purchases Rootrainer grown seedlings will soon find that they have many benefits over other plug or bare root stock. The planting season can be greatly extended. The survival rate will be significantly higher. Superior quality will soon manifest itself in faster take-off. Handling and planting will be much simpler.
