Gordy WebsterRoot Pouch fabric containers produce improved root systems. After several years of testing I am convinced that they are the best containers for producing exceptionally vigorous, healthy liners. I also appreciate the great service the Root Pouch team delivers along with their superior product. They make the purchasing process very easy from start to finish and are a great company to work with.”
Steve Curren Jr.We can tell a huge difference. The Root Pouches are a mass of lateral roots. The standard containers require us to cut the bottom circling root off and cut the side to stop the circling there as well. The Root Pouches require less work upshifting and offer a better healthier package for upshifting overall.”
Brian ChojnackiBecause we grow in Root Pouch brand pots we know first hand the strong and healthy root system that the Root Pouch pot produces. This gives us assurance we are offering our customers the highest quality plants and trees available.”
Barney HarrisonThe Root Pouch has proven to grow a more finer, even rootball than the plastic type bag. This has a long term beneficial result on the health and wellbeing of the tree. Root Pouch also has strong environmental benefits over the plastic bag, being made of recycled and natural products therefore minimalizing wastage and keeping plastic usage down.”
Dennise VidoshThe Root Pouch has made all the difference in the consistent vigor of the plant while being held above ground compared to conventional burlap. It retains moisture 100% better than burlap and keeps the root balls cool during hot summer days. We believe in the product and promote the benefits to our clients! Win-Win”

At Root Pouch, our focus is all about “The Roots” we know that Circling / Girdling roots are quite common from plastic pots, we also know this problem cannot correct itself once the tree is planted in the landscape.
Girdling roots that wrap around the trunk of a tree weakens the tree by restricting the flow of water and nutrients, leading to the decline of the health of the tree.The difference in a healthy root is a tree struggling for years or thriving for decades!
