DIEHARD™
Transplant "naturalizes" trees and shrubs and ground with beneficial
organisms that all plants have evolved with but generally are void
of when produced in a commercial nursery. Nursery grown plants are
manipulated in every way the nurserymen has at his/her disposal to
produce plants in the fastest, most efficient, way. The result is
that the plants, although looking great, and meeting the buyers
specifications (i.e., right size, looking great, etc.), are very
fragile because they are missing many of the natural systems that
they will need when planted in the landscape.
DIEHARD™
Transplant is
formulated as a tree and shrub transplant backfill amendment to
inoculate landscape plants when planted with live beneficial
mycorrhizal fungi, which nursery plants generally do not have, and
nearly one hundred other ingredients to "complete" the plant and the
ground in which the transplant is planted. This results in quick
root establishment and less transplant shock and stressed plants.
It contains highly selected endomycorrhizal fungi and
ectomycorrhizal fungi that will quickly colonize the roots of new
transplants to provide the best possible conditions for the roots to
become as effective as possible during the establishment period and
beyond. Both endo and ectomycorrhizal inoculants are combined with
humic acids, Trichoderma, stimulants, beneficial bacteria,
soluble sea kelp, yucca plant extracts, to promote rapid root
development. Included in the formulation
is a water management gel to reduce transplant shock and stress and
watering maintenance, and to slow release all soluble components.
The results are better survival and growth rates and less watering
for all tree and shrub transplants.
We are privileged to have as
business partners commercial landscape contractors that use this
product on every tree and shrub that they plant regardless of if it
is specified and required by the landscape architect. This is very
convincing evidence that the product provides exceptional value to
the commercial professional that understands a lush, quickly
established landscape, requiring less maintenance and attention is
cost effective for business and a special pleasure to offer his/her
customers. Long time customers realize that using this
valuable tool when transplant trees and shrubs is the lowest cost
way to do their job. Everything is relative - if you can spend
$5-$10 to get a $300-$500 tree to take off like there's no tomorrow
- the only cost is the cost of not using the product. And that
can be EXPENSIVE.
For convenience, consistency, and
to reduce waste, DIEHARD™ Transplant is packaged in pre-measured 8 oz.
labeled bags and is also available in bulk.
Don't be fooled by the
numerous "me too" products that are following our lead in the
market. These products could be good if the ingredients were
put into them but their not. The "me too's" are around because
we've created a market (based on quality) and they want their piece
of the business. Their price is lower (to buy the business)
but the products are weak (one product out there has less "value"
ingredients in a 50 pound bag than is in our 8 ounce DIEHARD
Transplant bag). So like a lot things that you can buy the
cheapest turns out to be the most expensive because it really
doesn't do anything!!
