The Tree Anchor Containerised System is a professional-grade solution designed to securely anchor saplings and rootball trees within planters, roof gardens, and raised beds. Ideal for urban tree planting schemes, podium landscapes, and rooftop gardens where traditional underground anchoring methods are not suitable, this system enables above-ground tree establishment without compromising on stability or aesthetics.

Instead of using driven ground anchors, this discreet system utilises three expanding eye bolts that are fixed directly into the solid base of a container or planter. High-tensile galvanised wire and a ratchet tensioner connect to rubber rootball protectors, keeping the tree firmly in place while allowing for natural growth and movement.

The kit is widely trusted by landscape architects, local authorities, and contractors involved in urban tree planting schemes and environmental greening initiatives. It is especially useful where soil depth is limited or underground utilities prevent the use of traditional anchoring systems.
