“Pot-in-Pot is a famously expensive but improved way of growing. Using Root Pouches helps eliminate what you don’t love about PNP (circling roots, difficult extraction) and adds what you need – water retention, protected root ball, and east of movement.”

Seeing is Believing.

Whether it’s a native species or new generation cultivar, Root Pouch technology helps create best-in industry roots.

From Sapling to Finish.

By starting off in small sizes, Kankakee is able to develop strong, lateral roots even on tough species. This leads to prepared, saleable trees
for the landscape.

Hear it from the grower.

“I am constantly amazed at the fibrous root system that Root Pouches deliver. Using the Root Pouches saves labor on cutting and removing circling roots, it’s just remove it and plant. They provide an overall healthier plant, that roots in much quicker. The Root Pouches produce a much better package for upshifting and lining out when compared to standard pots and air pruning containers.”
