Ken Prince from KP Tree and NurseryWe DO NOT recommend transplanting 1-year evergreen Jiffy Plugs directly into the field asthey are not strong enough to compete with native vegetation or withstand a drought. Therefore,we will not entertain any claims for losses when transplanted in this manner. 1-year plugs arewell suited for transplant beds where vegetation control and irrigation are provided or whentransplanted into containers. We offer 2-year plugs for this very reason as they are specificallygrown for one more year so they can successfully be transplanted for open field production suchas Christmas trees or B&B, etc.SeedsGlobally Sourced We Handle EverythingVans Pines sources quality seed the world over, and you reap the benefits.

Theseplugs quickly develop an extensive lateral root system that pushes top growth to double theiroriginal top size. These transplants have such massive roots that most selections can be rootpruned (Up to the bottom 1/3 of roots) to make transplanting by machine or by hand easier.Vans Jumbo Husky transplants (plug 2) are the same trees as our Husky transplants onlygrown on for one more year. This second growing season produces larger tops, heavier caliper,and increased root mass. These transplants are typically 1' – 3' tall, depending on species. Theyrequire some root pruning (Up to the 1/3 bottom of the root) as the roots are as long as the topsare tall. While these transplants typically go thru transplant shock like all bare root stock, modesttop growth of 4" – 10" can be expected under normal transplant conditions.Our Super Potted Liners and Plantable Peat Pots are planted using our one year A/G Jiffy Plugs. Most selections finish out the first season, but the slower growing types (Nordmann& Turkish Fir, etc.) take two growing seasons before they have a saleable top size. Faster croprotation and the near 100% survival rates are the two main reasons for using Vans Super PottedLiners and Plantable Peat Pots. Many growers claim they average two and sometimes three yearsless growing time to market size. Another feature is no transplant shock, so the trees quickly rootout into the surrounding soils and push fast top growth even in the first growing season. Also,there is no rush to get them into the ground like bare root. You can take your time, weeks ifnecessary, to out plant. Our Super Potted Liners and Plantable Peat Pots are produced to groweither in the field or another container. They are not intended for retail sales. We do not shear orshape them but let them grow naturally.1-800-888-73375
