What People Are Saying

Fredriks Nursery - Ripon, CA

"Western’s premium baskets look so much better than plastic — they just say quality. And our retailers know this is a product with a shelf life: these are larger containers, so baskets are more lush. And the flowers grow better, because the baskets retain moisture better. Our job is to make our retailers stand out to their customers, and Western Pulp helps us do that." - David Fredriks

Fiber Pots for Temp Extremes

Western's molded fiber containers insulate better.

They are made from cellulose, which has excellent insulating properties with superiour R-value compared to HDPE and even cedar. They are typically manufactured with a much thicker wall than most plastic containers. As a result, our thicker pots can offer more than 50 times the insulation value of some plastic pots.
