ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a reusable nursery stock container (1) which is designed to receive the root ball directly from the tree diging machine (2) which may be disassembled at the time a plant (3) is transplanted so as to substantially reduce damage to the root ball of the plant. The container(1) is formed of detachable container halves(9,8) which are securely attached to each other to form an integrated container by means of flanges. A bottom member(19) is secured to a bottom region of the container by a shelf(14) which is spaced above the bottom edge of container and held in place by means of tabs (25). The side walls may be tapered to facilitate vertical stacking, and molded in handles(6,7) are formed near an upper region of the container so as to facilitate handling.
