If you are looking for advanced trees with great root systems and a good canopy, then Field Grown Advanced Trees could be the solution.
Field Grown Advanced Trees have a number of advantages over many of the trees grown in containers.
Root bag technology has been around for a number of years and is a proven way of growing advanced trees at reduced costs.
Advantages of Field Grown Advanced Trees
- They are cheaper.
- They have better canopies.
- They can have better root systems, more feeder roots and a root system that does not circle.
They are cheaper because they are grown in the ground, this is a easier way for nurseries to grow trees.
They have better canopies, as trees grown in the ground develop a better and stronger branching system than those grown in containers.
They have better root systems because RCBs prevent roots from circling and this means a much better start in spring when they move into active growth
How are they grown
Field grown advanced trees are grown in Root Control Bags (RCB). This is a fabric bag that allows around 80% of the root system to remain intact when they are dug from the ground. This allows for easy transport, and easy transplanting.
The RCB is cut away just before planting, minimising root disturbance.
Although they only available in winter when the trees are not in active growth, Field Grown Trees are quick to establish, cheaper than alternatives and provide a better look when planted.
So if you are looking for advanced trees, you will find that Field Grown Trees may provide you with a cheaper and better way of buying trees for the landscape.

Tree Transport and Transport Systems
The transport of large trees is a bit of a specialist industry, and when you are looking at the cost of transplanting a mature Canary Island Date Palm, Bottle Tree or a large Morton Bay Fig tree, it is essential to choose a carrier with experience in the industry.
Moving, transplanting and storing trees is a demanding task requiring specialist systems. Commercial projects require large specimen trees to be transported in top condition and on time.
On many occasions trees will need to be stored before replanting and this in itself requires experienced hands.
A few restrictions exist when it comes to transporting trees and this will include size, power lines, bridges and other obstacles need to be taken into account. Tree jacking systems allow very large trees to be lifted and moved.
Major customers of tree transport specialist include : developers, government departments, landscapers and wholesale nurseries who sell advanced and mature trees.
In Australia Canary Island Date Palms, advanced Ficus species, Mature frangipani, large multi headed Tree ferns, and Queensland Bottle Trees are all candidates for removal and transportation to new homes.
