Tree root ball wrapping apparatus and method of using same

US-7353635-B2

Abstract

A tree root ball wrapping apparatus ( 100 ) includes a circular platform ( 109, 113 ) for supporting a separable, open-frame, root-containment structure ( 103, 105, 107 ) having an inverted conical shape. A group of pivot joints ( 201, 203, 205, 207 ) are located at an upper section of the root-containment structure for separating the root-containment structure into half sections. In practice, the group of pivot joints can be opened during tree transplantation for providing removal of a root ball from the wrapping apparatus by opening the sections at the group of pivot joints for easily facilitating removal of the wrapping apparatus ( 100 ) from within a transplantation hole.
