Bulk Rootrainers
Rootrainers are the perfect start for nearly all plants, and are now used by growers, nurserymen and foresters all over the world.
The Rootrainer system consists of trays, and the 'books' that fill them. There are several different sizes, to offer the perfect growing environment for any plant.

Benefits of Rootrainers
The benefits of Rootrainers can be divided up into 4 groups -
QUALITY
-Rootrainers encourage optimum root formation including strong, straight roots—a fundamental requirement 
of healthy and successful growth. The air-pruning system develops a more dense and fibrous root system.
The rectangular shape provides greater surface area and the grooves allow more roots to develop on the outside of the plug.
ECONOMY - Rootrainers are re-usable and are proven to have a long life—SIX and more years are common in many nurseries. Also books may be replaced individually when damaged without the need to discard the whole tray. Rootrainers mean less work and less compost.
FLEXIBILITY — Rootrainers are available in a number of different sizes to accommodate the widest possible range of plant species. The same outer tray is used for different sizes, except the largest (Maxi), which has its own tray.
NB—Rootrainers are the only modular cell system which allow plants to be spaced out without re-potting.
PACKING AND PLANT DELIVERY — Rootrainer plants are easily extracted from the ‘open books’ without ‘shock’ (even when frozen), for grading, packing and transplanting. The rectangular root plugs pack tightly into uniform bundles in plastic film for safe and economic delivery.
Alternatively, high value plants can be delivered in the Rootrainer books, which provide optimum protection, using the custom designed Rootrainer Mailpacks.
