We grow in ground trees and ship them in Wire Baskets. We use a square knot to tie the tree inside the wire basket. This puts equal weight on all points of the basket and secures the tree trunk to the basket and by doing this, it keeps trees with very poor root systems tight in the basket until planted back in the ground. In addition you recieve a seat belt strap loop to lift the tree, this points the tree at an angle and keeps the tree from hitting your tree boom or forks when unloading. All this process cost more money at harvest time, but helps makes the tree transplant a sucessful one.
