	CHIN01 (Container Grown)


	Container Grown seedlings
	Seedlings are grown in special container cells in which the taproot is "air pruned", thus promoting the development of hundreds of fine feeder roots. This process forms a plug of healthy, vigorous roots. When the seedling is harvested, this plug of roots is undisturbed - dramatically increasing the adaptability and growth rate of the seedling. Container grown seedlings are easy to plant and can be planted earlier or later in the season than field grown seedlings.
