Seed Bags

A smaller version of grow bags are TDI’s seed bags that are designed to cultivate and protect tiny seeds, seedlings, and grafts.

Uniquely shaped with an elongated footprint, seed bags function the same way as standard ones. In order to keep them upright, growers put them in crates, nicely stacked against each other.

Tree Sleeves or Plant Grow Sleeves

Another product are TDI’s tree sleeves, that are a great option to cultivate larger plants or small trees. Typically, the material is thicker and heavier than regular grow bags. 

Plant grow sleeves have two open sides without a sealed bottom. Like our other nursery bags, tree sleeves are fully customizable to meet your specific needs.

At vineyard, narrow tree sleeves serve to protect the base of vines from burning caused by pesticide spraying.
