Root Guard Gopher Basket - 5 Gallon
Stop the Gopher Destruction!
Humane and effective, these sturdy baskets are superior to chicken or aviary wire for barring gophers from your plant's roots.
Just set the basket in the plant hole with the green wire above-ground to block the overland route. Put the plant inside, backfill with soil and you're done!
- Opening is 3/4" across the flats of the hexagon
- Steel wire strand is 20-guage and galvanized after weaving for ideal strength and corrosion resistance
- Because the gopher wire is hot-dipped galvanized after it is woven, it will easily last 6-10 years
- Open size is 12" diameter x 14" deep
- 30 gauge galvanized sheet metal seams

My community has gophers. Last year, I used these when I planted several new fruit trees in my 60+ tree orchard. I also planted blueberries but didn’t use the gopher baskets. The trees are doing great while the blueberries lost their roots. This year, I’ll be using these when I replant the berries.
I splurged on a gorgeous Coral Bark Maple tree......but didn't get the gopher basket. One day, the tree has fallen over. Reason? Gopher at the roots of my baby down to the nubs. The tree was traumatized, and is now recovering back in its original container. When it is ready to go back in the ground, it is getting planted with this cage protecting the rootball.
Our orchard is full of gopher tunnels so we put these baskets on every tree we planted. They really work and the gophers can’t get to our trees!
I have been using these baskets for more than 10 years. My garden and orchard have the toughest gophers around. And these baskets provide a great protection especially for young trees.
Received the baskets on time. It even beat amazon and Home Depot prices even after shipping
Let customers speak for us
from 9203 reviewsI grow this in old litter boxes for a bunny & Guinea pig rescue- it is a great treat! Grows fast, thick and moist. I also grow it in my catio for my cats
High quality saffron corms that shipped when they said they would. They started sprouting in my cabinet within a week so definitely plant them quickly after receiving.
They looked good when the plants arrived. Waiting for planters to transplant so they'll have more room, but not planting in the garden to avoid the mint from spreading all over. They're still alive....
Beautiful seed garlic
This tree takes a lot of patience, both in years to fully fruit out and in terms of how late in the season the peaches finally ripen, - the end of September here in zone 5b, - but boy are they amazing when they come in! I have two other peach trees, - Redhaven and Reliance, which have wonderful fruit, but these Indian Free White peaches are amazing. The aroma alone is incredible. These also have thicker skins, more "fuzz," which you can rub off, and are a bit on the acidic side, but OH so yummy! I have gotten raves from the farmers who tried them.
Been using this for last couple growing season. Works wonders for the garden.
This hose gets dragged over bark and around raised garden beds, and also over concrete and a weedy hillside to water a couple trees. So far it has performed well and there aren't any leaks or kinks!
I have not had a chance to plant these yet as it’s still a little early. Package came quickly and garlic was beautiful, can’t wait to plant it.
This is a great addition to my veg garden area!
These branch supports work well, are sturdy, and relatively cheap. While you do have to provide your own poles, you can buy wooden or metal ones of your needed length at hardware or home improvement stores. We ordered ten at first and then bought ten more after seeing how the first ones worked.
Of course I wanted a hand made wooden trug, but they are expensive! This plastic one is easy to clean, and the perfect size. I love the drainage holes.
No lightweight nonsense here! These are the one of the industry standards in tree pots and they have become our go to on the tree farm. You will find lightweight look-a-likes out there, but most only serve one time use. These have held up for years and been used multiple times in some cases.
This has become one of my new favorites for all around propagation. From seeds to cuttings we use this mix for our fig trees and have had unbelievable success. The mix is formulated for strong and fast root development. No complaints about it!
These trays are great. Everything is ready to go.
I use them for cuttings and seed starting and haven't been disappointed yet.
I had the frustration of having my dog dig up my citrus trees and figs out of their containers. I was furious. This granular repellent has stopped the dog completely. So now, the dog can stay.
