WHAT ARE HILLIER HANDLES? Hillier-handles are made of black interwoven material with strong handles which allow pots to be safely lifted and easily manoeuvred.The interweave has been specially designed to allow air and light to penetrate evenly around the container, encouraging fibrous rooting throughout, even at the base of the container.Water is also able to pass through the interwoven material for even drainage, this eliminates the need for water holes which can become blocked causing water-logging. The ability of the material to ‘breath’ and allowing water to penetrate means all species root through well with no spiralling, thus giving the tree the best possible start.

Three reasons why you should use Hillier-handles container grown trees in your garden:

Hillier Handles1 Container grown trees extend the
planting season beyond that of open ground stock, meaning that, with care, trees can be planted all-year-round, even in full leaf.
2 Hillier-handles container trees can be easily manoeuvred around the site, thus causing a minimum of disturbance to the root system.
3 Hillier-handles container grown trees have a complete root system which is in balance with the canopy. This helps the tree to establish quickly when planted on site.
