Field Potting & Shipping includes digging a field grown plant by hand or by machine and placing the plant in a Fanntum Container as a shipping and holding device. This practice has been done for years with plastic containers, but with the advantages of the Fanntum Container there is a swell of new interest. Even though field potting is not a new technology, use of Fanntum Containers does put it in the 21st Century. Air root pruning, elimination of root circling, use of the wire basket for handling and the ability to remove the fabric exterior without harming the root structure while planting, have all made this harvesting method an ideal option. | ||

| Fanntum baskets and liners are pre-assembled waiting for shipment to the field. | Dutchman Tree Spades makes a Fanntum Digger in any size. The contour of the digger matches the contour of the Fanntum basket perfectly. | Once the plant has been dug, the Fanntum Container is placed over the digger blades. |

| The Fanntum Liner is pulled up taught to remove any wrinkles in the side walls and to hold the soil ball tightly. | All Fanntum Containers come with a sewn in instruction tag. This particular tag was produced in a color required by a big box store. | Field potted Fanntum Containers await final lacing of the top and loading for a ride to the end user. |
