We’ve been developing a custom “plug transplant” growing system for quite a few years now, and in the learning process we’ve made [and continue to make] a lot of mistakes [see photos below]. There is a difficult balancing act needed while growing this way to achieve top quality trees. We often end up with “scratch-n-dent” quality evergreens sporting small or damaged tops, aborted top buds, split tops, insufficient root growth, frost damage, deer damage, small size, etc]. We could grow for them for another year and the trees would be absolutely fantastic, but often we just don’t have the room to do so.
DISCONTINUED…Conservation Grade Evergreen Plug Transplants have been discontinued
These otherwise healthy trees are often called “conservation grade” or “park grade” trees. Since we try to ship up to a standard, not down to a price, we occasionally end up with a large number of these healthy but ugly duckling trees and sell them at a lower price.

PLANT THESE PLUG TRANSPLANTS IN RECORD TIME:
Watch how to plant evergreen plug transplants fast and with less effort than any “bare root” evergreen transplant of a similar size. With just a cordless drill and our plug transplant bulb auger, you can realistically plant 50 to 100 trees per hour without breaking your back. You can buy this auger on the cheap with tree purchase, but with any order of 50 plug transplants or more [pls read that again, this offer is not for plug seedlings] we’ll include the auger for FREE!
Soil conservation districts around the country buy “conservation grade” transplants to replant wild areas and return deforested areas back to their original splendor. But because they generally plant in remote areas, soil conservation districts are only concerned with healthy and cheap, not with pretty “specimen quality”. Conservation grade transplants become pretty within a few years of their own accord, with the end result being healthy, mature evergreens at low cost to county and state budgets. You too can take advantage of the cost savings of the “conservation grade” approach for your own planting project.
