I'm not sure where you live but BT grower supply is in Forest Hill, LA.

I've mailordered pots from them and they ship them out pretty quickly.

You might want to dig a shallow trench, lay the plants down on their sides, and cover the roots. They should be OK for quite a while that way.

Millet gave us this website for tree pots. I bought many there. You can buy one or 100. Go here & click on tree pots. They are tall & EXCELLENT for rooting.

Thanks fellows................got the pots............got 125 P Trifolata transplanted to them. The stock is about 14 inches tall and growing. Looking now to find some budwood of Meiwa kumquat and Nagami kumquat....I have lots of P trifolata the same size as mine. I planted 5 tubs of them and they have all done well. I will have more seed this fall if anyone is in need. David
