Comments from satisfied customers


  • We tested for over two years and in the end, we were absolutely convinced that the Ercole pot was the only one we would use.

  • We are pleased regarding the sturdiness and durability of it as we have moved into a mechanized system of loading and off-loading on our potting lines

  • By using this pot, we have aided the survivability of the plants.

  • We see great results in rooting out, and a proper root system achieved in a timely manner for our sales.

  • A natural way of root pruning for better promotion of new roots, which in turn gives the  root system a better ability to pull in moisture and nutrient value to the tree
