Flexible work planning - allows planting of Cell Grown plants to be carried out when ground conditions are appropriate, and also when labour is available and convenient.  Thus in-house labour can be easily used.

Flexible planting season - allows planting into warm soils when roots are active, encouraging rapid establishment. September/October and March/April being ideal.  This also provides better working conditions, leading to the likelihood of better planting!

Minimal root disturbance - root systems are supplied intact, with no loss of fine feeding roots and root hairs, which can often carry associated mycorrhizae, and are essential for speedy establishment.

Uniformity - the grading and uniformity of Cell Grown stock in size and root quality ensures as consistant a plant as possible is used.  This obviously benefits the uniformity required for a tidy hedge.

Disciplined and safe plant handling - due to the tidy packaging and presentation of Cell Grown plants, they cannot be visible mishandled, damaging plant viability.  This enables a high success rate with better uniformity, resulting in the need for less subsequent maintainence - a job easily forgotten.

Additional agents - along with the compost protecting the roots, one has the option to add slow release fertilisers, mycorrhizae to enhance establishment on marginal sites, and in some instances insecticides to protect against pests.  These are available given advance warning and may incur additional cost.
