Overview
A/G® Jiffy® Plugs
We propagate only from seed in Jiffy® Plugs of different diameters and depth. We use diameters of 36mm and 50mm at the depth of 100mm. Our system utilizes air root pruning to develop many lateral roots for every tree.
1 Quart (1-2 year)
1 Gallon (1-2 year)
1 Gallon (1-2 year)
3 Gallon (3-4 year)
Super Potted Liners®
Our Super Potted Liners begin with A/G® Jiffy® Plugs transplanted into 1 or 3 gallon containers. They are then grown up to an additional year and a half longer, allowing the plug’s superior lateral root system to greatly expand in the larger container.
Bare Root Transplants
Husky Transplants (plug+1) are grown in field beds using 1 and 2 year old A/G® Jiffy® plugs. These trees quickly develop an extensive lateral root system that pushes top growth to make them double their original top size.
Husky® 1 or 2 year plug
(+1 more year in the field)
Jumbo Husky® 1 or 2 year plug
(+2 more years in the field)
Beach Grass
Our native beach grass is established on the shores of the lakes throughout the great lakes basin from Duluth Minnesota to Buffalo New York.
