Patent

CA 2179250

Trees are container grown using multiple panel tree supports that are readily cut apart and removed in transplanting to minimize transplanting shock on the plant. Two types of support are disclosed. One is a pail-like container with a removable bottom and a side wall that may be split. The bottom of the support is removed by cutting three tabs. After the tree has been located in the transplantation hole, the peripheral wall is opened by cutting a further three tabs so that it can be removed without disrupting the tree roots. The second version of the apparatus has four panels radiating from a common center. This unit is used in conjunction with an outer container. Rope handles joining respective pairs of the panels are used for lifting the support and the tree out of the outer container. When the tree has been located in a hole dug for this purpose, the panels are separated by cutting the web joining them at the center and they are drawn out from under the tree, thus minimizing damage to the tree roots.

Les arbres sont cultivés en conteneur à l'aide de multiples supports d'arbres qui sont rapidement coupés et retirés lors de la transplantation afin de minimiser le choc de la transplantation sur les plants. Deux types de support sont montrés. La première version ressemble à un seau doté d'un fond amovible et d'une paroi qui peut être fendue. Le fond du support est enlevé en coupant les trois bandes. Lorsque l'arbre est placé dans le trou de transplantation, la paroi périphérique est ouverte en coupant trois autres bandes pour pouvoir la retirer sans déranger les racines de l'arbre. La seconde version de l'appareil est doté de quatre panneaux rayonnant d'un centre commun. Cette unité est utilisée en conjonction avec un conteneur externe. Des poignées de corde reliées aux paires respectives des panneaux sont utilisées pour soulever le support et retirer l'arbre du conteneur. Lorsque l'arbre est placé dans le trou de transplantation, les panneaux sont séparés en coupant la bande qui les relie au centre, et sont ensuite retirés du dessous de l'arbre, minimisant ainsi les dommages causés aux racines.
