ABSTRACT:
An improved container for growing and holding plants for transplanting encloses the root ball in a polyurethane liner, which is then supported within a wire mesh outer basket. The polyurethane liner does not rot above ground, yet is permeable, so that the roots in the root ball air prune, forming extensive fine filamentary root growth, significantly improving the viability and health of the plant when transplanted. Although the liner of the invention does not rot above ground, it easily passes roots when the basket and root ball is planted, As a result, the basket and liner need not be removed prior to planting the plant, significantly simplifying handling of the plant.
