How do most growers prepare their bag grown material for sale?
Anyway the end customer wants it prepared. Many bag growers ship and handle plants right in the bag. To clean up the bag, shave off any root structure that has penetrated outside the fabric. Close off the top of the bag with a swatch of burlap. Tying the ball might help. Some growers remove the bag and wrap burlap around the ball before shipping. This eliminates the possibility that the landscaper will forget to remove the fabric at planting. Many other customers remove the bag and place the tree in a large plastic pot or wooden box for sale. Wherever large pot or box material is sold, the bag to pot, or bag to box method of production is quicker, cheaper, and produces a better plant than traditional production methods.
