In-Ground Growing

The most traditional method of growing plant material, Root Pouch has transformed what’s possible for in-ground growing.

The best in-ground bags around.

Designed specifically to develop a better root ball and hydrate root zones more naturally, Root Pouches deliver the results that some of the highest quality in-ground growers like J. Frank Schmidt and Oregon Pride expect.

Roots, Roots, Roots.

The only container designed to prune by entrapment rather than air, Root Pouches discourage root circling to promote dense, fibrous root balls, even when buried in soil.

This provides the unique benefit of allowing harvesting to include 100% of the roots, contrary to bare root or B&B techniques.

The benefits don’t stop there. Growing in Root Pouch fundamentally changes quality and efficiency during and after harvest.

Don’t just survive, thrive.

By keeping the root ball intact and temperatures moderate, Root Pouch makes heel yards a thing of the past. Simply dig using a U-type digging tool, fork, or hand spade when it’s most convenient for you and your customer.

Harvest by hand in seconds. Yes, it’s that easy.

Western Evergreen, one of Oregon's premier growers, specializes in field- and container-grown Conifers. With Root Pouch, they can selectively dig deeply rooted trees in seconds. The best part? They keep 100% of the root ball intact compared to less than 20% when using traditional B&B methods.

Continued quality, all the way to your customer.

When compared to plastic pots, Root Pouch’s fabric not only provides superior thermal insulation and moisture control, but it nestles together smoothly and snugly. On top of this, save time and money by cutting out the trunk guards — no sharp edges here.

Load up to 15% more per truckload than the same size plastic container when you choose Root Pouch.
