Finished Stock:  No. 1 Container – Our Growers’ First Choice

Fall Creek’s No. 1 field-ready blueberry plants are the result of many years of our staff’s combined efforts and horticultural expertise.

Our premium field-ready grown plants include No. 1 grow bags and No. 1 (1-gallon size) semi-rigid containers. Most Northern varieties finish as 18"- 30" size while some Southern varieties can be slightly shorter. Our routine practice is to shear the top growth of each plant to a standard 20"- 22" prior to shipping. Fall Creek’s No.1 containers transplant with little shock to the root system and, in ideal field conditions, are often ready for fruiting in the second season.

No. 1 containers (which average 4 1/2 lbs. each) are carefully packed and palletized in Fall Creek bin boxes for convenient pick up, delivery and handling by planting crews. Full bin boxes hold between 300-340 containers.

Fall Creek’s Advantage Cell™ Transplants

Available in two different sizes, the Advantage Cell™ Grown Transplant represents Fall Creek’s solution to traditional bare root plants and offers an economical alternative to container grown plants by reducing transportation costs. Before shipping, each plant is carefully removed from the cell tray and wrapped in a bundle of five. Our customers report better field establishment, stronger, more uniform growth, increased vigor, and faster fruit production because of the plants' full, undisturbed root system.  Following are the two Advantage Cell Transplant sizes currently available:

Liter Pot

This Liter Pot container measures 4 1/2" across the top and is 5" deep.  The plant is vigorous, strong, and transplants quickly. Most Highbush varieties average 12"- 18" finished height, and are sheared to 14" before shipping. Liter pots (which average 2 lbs. each) are carefully packed and palletized in Fall Creek bin boxes for convenient pick up, delivery and handling by planting crews. Full bin boxes hold up to 750 pots.

2 X 5 Field Liner

Fall Creek’s 2 x 5 Field Liners are designed for direct planting into fields in regions with extended growing seasons. This liner (38 plants per tray) is a deep-rooted, grooved cell designed for quick, efficient transplanting and economical long distance shipping. Plant height averages 6"- 8". Average weight is 34 lbs. per 100 plants.

One Year Liner

Fall Creek’s One Year Liner is started as a tissue culture plug, then transplanted into 72 cell trays, grown on and finished in our outside facilities. Not intended for direct field planting, these liners are best suited for transplanting and to be grown for an additional season in a No. 1 pot or nursery bed.  Most Highbush varieties are shipped at a sheared finished height of 4"- 6".

*NOTE ABOUT OUR ONE YEAR LINERS:  Our One Year Liners are a custom-grown, special order item and must be ordered 18 months in advance.
