THE BEST IN CONTAINER GROWN TREES
Hillier Nurseries has, over the past decades, pioneered the container tree revolution. Over this time we have initiated many new developments in container technology, embracing advancements and listening to our customer comments and feedback. This has led to our trees being produced in two types of containers.
“HILLIER-HANDLES” containers 6-8cm girth – 16-18cm girth
Hillier-handles Container Grown Trees - a real breakthrough in easy to manoeuvre trees.
Hillier-handles containers produce the best trees which really work for our customers, being easy to lift and move around the site and offer great value for money.
A Specially Designed Container to do the job you need
Hillier-handles are made of black interwoven material with strong handles which allow pots to be safely lifted and easily manoeuvred.The interweave has been specially designed to allow air and light to penetrate evenly around the container, encouraging fibrous rooting throughout, even at the base of the container.Water is also able to pass through the interwoven material for even drainage, this eliminates the need for water holes which can become blocked causing water-logging. The ability of the material to ‘breath’ and allowing water to penetrate means all species root through well with no spiralling, thus giving the tree the best possible start.
Three reasons why you should use Hillier-handles container grown trees on your site: |

AIR-POTS (18cm girth – 80cm+ girth.)
Trees 18cm girth upwards are grown in an “Air-pot” or “Spring-ring” container. Spring-ring containers work on a system of air pruning, the containers have unusual cuspidate walls with air slits and produce a very fibrous root system. The primary roots branch and grow out into the open-ended cusps of the container, where their delicate roots will die back when they meet the air. The roots are ‘pruned’ in this way and new fibrous root growth is thus encouraged. This continuous process enables the tree to root around completely in greatly reduced times, and produces an extremely full and fibrous radial root system. The cusps and contours of the Spring-ring guide the roots outwards, making root circling impossible, encouraging outward root development, allowing the tree to thrive when planted on site.
The containers are removed prior to despatch and re-used. The root system is wrapped and secured for protection during transportation. Availability list please click here.
CONTRACT POTTING
Hillier Nurseries offer a service to containerise stock for specific projects in accordance with our customers requirements. This is often carried out for projects which are planned to be planted out of season (i.e. April-October) or simply when the client wishes to ensure stock has the best possible chance of successful establishment. Trees up to 80cm girth can be containerised in custom-made pots to suit the constraints of the site. Below is a selection of major commercial projects which Hillier Nurseries has supplied with contract-potted containerised trees. For further information please contact Caroline Swann, email: carolineswann@hillier.co.uk or telephone the Sales Office on 01794 368733.
