Why Fanntum Nursery Containers beat the competition! Today, because of Fanntum Containers, nurserymen can grow better plants faster by producing both a superior root system and a healthier plant. The porous surface of the Fanntum Container allows both unique air root pruning to prevent root circling and a built-in heat escape route for a cooler soil mix and faster growing plants. The innovative wire basket skeleton allows easy loading and planting. And, for the field grower, the Fanntum Container allows plants to be dug and held for months, long after a normal pre-dug plant would be showing ill effects of being stored above ground with no protection for the root system. So, whether you operate a container nursery or a field grown nursery, there is a Fanntum Container that will meet your needs and help grow your business! |

| LEFT - The Fanntum Container root system was grown in half the time as the plastic container system on the right. It contains a larger, more fibrous root system and no circling. | RIGHT - The traditional plastic container root system took twice as long to grow as the Fanntum root system on the left. It contains larger, less fibrous roots, less roots and the root system has started circling. |
| Plastic
Pot Problems Just name a container problem and you will likely find plastic pots — root circling, difficult container handling, rapid plastic degradation, splitting, difficult plant removal. All these and more come with plastic pots. |
Plastic & Wood Box Problems A high cost for the box itself and expensive freight are common problems for either. A 125 gallon box can easily cost $50 plus another $4-5 for freight. A rough and unsightly appearance usually follows a long nursery stay and wood decays rapidly upon contact with the soil. |
| Plastic
Perforated Ring Problems While rings help to enable a more stable root system, difficult container handling and a lack of structure to hold the root ball together are key problems. Soil mix loss is common and perforations allow grass to germinate in openings. |
Fabric Only & Fabric-Wrapped Fencing Problems Already subject to tipping and slouching, fabric or fabric-wrapped wire fencing complicates movement and shipping when buckets or forks encounter unattached bottoms and an absence of lift loops. Mandatory container removal before planting results in fractured root balls and severed roots. |
