Abstract
A plant pallet has a plurality of wells arranged in rows and columns to receive leafy tree seedlings. The wells each have a well bottom with at least one drainage opening. The well bottom of each well merges laterally into a peripheral side wall. A top side of the plant pallet is formed by side walls of adjacent wells merging into one another. To prevent lateral rooting being impaired or adversely affected by the side wall, protrusions which extend further upwards are arranged on the top side such that they partially continue the side walls upwards.
Claims23
A plant pallet (1) having a multiplicity of wells (2) which for receiving foliated small tree seedlings are disposed in rows and columns, wherein the wells (2) have in each case a well base (3) having at least one dewatering opening (4), and wherein the well base (3) of each well (2) laterally transitions to an encircling lateral wall (5), and an upper side (6) of the plant pallet (1) is formed by mutually transitioning lateral walls (5) of adjacent wells (2), wherein protrusions (7) that extend further upward are disposed on the upper side (6) in such a manner that said protrusions (7) partially are an upward continuation of the lateral walls (5), wherein at least one spacer (8), preferably at least two, spacers (8) is/are provided on the upper side (6), said spacer/spacers (8) being positioned in a distributed manner, particularly preferably disposed in corners of the plant pallet (1), and extending upward by a multiple of the protrusions (7), wherein in at least part of all the protrusions (7) present the latter extend inward somewhat beyond the lateral wall (5) of each respective well (2), and wherein the protrusions (7) which extend inward somewhat beyond the lateral wall (5) of each respective well (2) continue downward along the lateral wall (5) at least across a sub-region of the height of the lateral wall (5), preferably so as to reach the well base (3) and wherein the plant pallet (1) is provided with attachment elements (9) which are molded so as to project on the upper side, and the spacers (8) on the lower side have a correspondingly configured attachment recess (10) for releasably attaching the spacer (8) to such an attachment element (9) interacts in each case in a form-fitting manner with one attachment element (9) and wherein the plant pallet (1) is provided with attachment recesses (10) which are disposed in the upper side (6) and extend downward through the upper side (6), and the spacers (8) on the lower side have a correspondingly configured attachment element (9) which for releasably attaching the spacer (8) to such an attachment recess (10) interacts in each case in a form-fitting manner with one recess (10).
