The Platipus rootball fixing system, including Plati-Mat®, remains the preferred method of securing rootballed, airpot and containerised semi-mature trees when there are no limitations due to buried services. The ease of installation and lack of unsightly stakes or guy wires makes it the number one choice for customers.
The installation process consists of driving three anchors into the ground and setting them into their working position. The Plati-Mat® allows secure positioning of newly transplanted trees and protects the rootball when tensioning the system.
The benefits of this solution include ease and speed of installation, planting at the nursery line and a more secure fixing with better root establishment. The system naturally degrades after 3-5 years to allow unrestricted root growth.
