BENEFITS CEDARS IN POTS:
Best transplant rework
Unlike cedars grown in the field, no roots are cut during transplanting. This will ensure a better recovery when planting your cedars
Faster growth
Thanks to the better recovery of potted cedars, you will benefit from considerably faster growth in the first few years!
Much lighter cedar
A cedar grown in a pot will only be a fraction of the weight of a cedar grown in the field, so you won't have to work too hard for your setup
Easy to Dig and Install
Since the root system of a cedar grown in a pot is less voluminous than its counterpart grown in the field, it will be easier for you to excavate the land and install the cedars.
