Northwest Horticulture (NWH) is introducing the cold-treated ‘24-Cell Tray’ for growers looking for a larger plug to plant and finish in the spring. The tray will be on offer from January 15 to April 1, and NWH offers growers a wide selection of perennial, ornamental grass and landscape rose varieties.

According to NWH, its 24-Cell Trays are grown in a controlled greenhouse environment. The trays are cooled in the same environment, eliminating the possibilities of shock to the root system and ensuring a healthy plant. The trays are then stored in 34°F coolers from February 15 through April 1 to maintain the liners’ dormancy.

The trays can be shipped through NWH’s new ‘Pallet Shipper’ delivery system that uses crush-resistant packaging that is stacked on pallets. This system allows air to circulate through the plants during shipping and is a more cost-effective method compared to boxes.

“Our customers are attracted to the planting size of our 24-cell as well as our broad offering, including grasses and landscape roses for ‘same season’ transplant into gallon or larger containers,” says Richard Gigot, NWH director of sales and marketing.
