T.O. Plastics SureRoots Deep Nursery Plug Tray - 15 Cell - 2in OD x 5in D - Black - 25pc

SureRoots Deep Nursery Plug Trays for Enhanced Transplant Success with Deep, Healthy Root Systems

The T.O. Plastics SureRoots Deep Nursery Plug Tray is uniquely engineered to maximize transplant success. Each of the 15 cylinder-shaped cells features a top-to-bottom V-shape design that guides root growth downward along the cell walls, preventing horizontal root circling and encouraging a deep, well-oriented root system. At 2in OD and 5in deep with 11.9 cu in of growing volume per cell, the SureRoots tray is among the deepest-cell plug trays available - built for crops that demand maximum root depth before transplanting. Sold 25pc per case.

Key Features & Benefits

• 15 cells with exclusive cylinder design - Cylindrical cell shape with no corners prevents root circling and promotes straight, downward root development.
• Top-to-bottom V-shape interior - Internal V-shaped ridges guide roots downward along the full depth of the cell, orienting root growth for optimal transplant establishment.
• 2in OD x 5in deep - 11.9 cu in per cell - One of the deepest cell profiles available for a standard-footprint plug tray, providing exceptional root volume.
• Engineered for transplant success - The combination of cylinder shape, V-guide, and deep cell volume produces transplants with strong, well-oriented root systems that establish faster and more reliably.
• 10.94in W x 21.44in L footprint - Compatible with standard propagation bench and rack systems.
• 25pc per case - Case quantity for commercial production.

Who Should Use This

Nursery growers and propagators producing high-value transplants where root system quality directly affects post-transplant success rates. Ideal for trees, shrubs, perennials, and specialty crops where deep, straight root systems reduce establishment time and transplant losses.

Compatibility

The 10.94in x 21.44in footprint is compatible with standard propagation bench systems. Works with peat, bark, coco coir, and soilless growing media. Compatible with overhead and drip irrigation methods.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SureRoots V-shape design and how does it improve transplant results?

The top-to-bottom V-shape consists of internal ridges that run the full depth of each cylinder cell. These ridges guide root tips downward along the cell wall rather than allowing them to circle horizontally. The result is a deep, well-oriented root system that transplants with minimal disturbance and establishes faster in the field or container.

Why use a 5-inch deep cell?

A 5-inch deep cell allows roots to develop to their natural downward growth tendency before transplanting. This is especially important for trees, shrubs, and perennials whose roots naturally seek depth, producing a plug that performs better at transplant than shallower alternatives.

How many trays come per case?

Each case contains 25 T.O. Plastics SureRoots Deep Nursery Plug Trays.

What growing media works best in the SureRoots tray?

Use a well-draining nursery or propagation mix suited to the crop. Bark-based and peat-bark blends work well in deep cells. Avoid heavy compacted mixes that can restrict root penetration through the full 5-inch cell depth.
