“Tall Pot” is a term that describes plants – mostly trees – that are grown in long narrow tubes, usually made of PVC, and filled with soil.
The long tube encourages a long tap root to establish , so that once the trees are planted, they are better able to survive. This is especially useful when planting without permanent irrigation. Once plants make it through the first 90-days of life post-transplant they are generally able to not only survive on their own but ‘thrive’ on their own.
