Tree Nursery Dirk De Troy

Harvesting trees

In October, the grubbing season starts. This is a busy period with a lot of work. Different kinds of machines are used to efficiently prepare the orders. Thanks to the grubbing machines, all the trees have great roots.

The grubbing is done with the following machines:

• the one year old sprigs are grubbed with our “Side-beltslifter”
• We use the "selective tree lifting machine"  to grub in numbers and measures
• To grub a whole parcel, we use a “ Side-lifter”
• To grub trees with clots, we use a "clot grubber"
