DIEHARD™ Transplant "naturalizes" trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, vegetables and any plant 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 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 they are 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!!
