Root Pruning Pots - 45 Litre Volume (400mm x 350mm) - Commercial Tree & Advanced Trainer System

ROOT PRUNING POTS - 45 Litre Volume (400mm x 350mm) - Commercial Tree & Advanced Trainer System

This Root Pruning Pot is a heavy-duty, large-capacity, two-part container system engineered for maximizing the health and structure of commercial root systems. Featuring a massive 45 Litre volume with a 400mm diameter and 350mm height, the pot consists of a removable dimpled side wall and an open mesh base. This unique structure utilizes natural air pruning to channel roots outwards to perforations, effectively eliminating root spiraling and forcing the development of a dense, fibrous, and non-distorted root ball.

Best For Commercial tree nurseries, advanced fruit tree growers, large landscape installations, and professional horticulturists requiring superior, non-circling root structure and optimal root zone oxygenation for large shrubs and young trees.

Key Features

• Massive 45 Litre Capacity: Ideal size for growing substantial semi-mature trees, large fruiting bushes, and long-term container shrubs, providing generous soil volume.

• Active Air Pruning Technology: The perforated side walls halt root circling, stimulating intense lateral root branching, which leads to superior nutrient absorption and drought resistance.

• Two-Part Removable Design: The side walls detach easily from the open mesh base, allowing for non-disruptive transplanting of the mature, highly-developed root ball, minimizing plant shock.

• Optimized Root Zone Oxygenation: The unique dimpled and perforated structure maximizes air flow directly to the root tips, enhancing respiration and supporting exceptionally vigorous top growth.

• Eliminates Structural Root Defects: Guarantees the development of a straight, healthy root system, which is crucial for the long-term stability and structural integrity of large plants after planting.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
