Carolyn, Greg, & Larry, Thanks. The box is 18" tall. The Rootmaker pots I purchased arrived today. I purchased 50, 5-gallon grounders to start with. They are designed for in ground use but may be used above ground. The tree roots extend into the soil to absorb water and nutrients through 3/32" holes. The holes constrict the roots causing an accumulation of sugars and starches within the pot. Root branching occurs behind this constriction. With the pots being in ground I can conserve water use and the roots are insulated from temperature extremes. I'll keep posting on the progress.

I just planted some new stuff in mine a couple of weeks ago. Keep me posted on the progress of your trees. Way cool! I'm just now catching up on email stuff on my way back home from Wisconsin. Talk to you later.
