Winstrip Trays Group Order
$7.89 each tray and free shipping
Pickup Wednesdays in Gainesville, Clarkesville, or Clayton
50-Cell, 72-Cell, 128-Cell available
GROUP ORDER DEADLINE: 9pm 1/16/26

If you ordered 9 of these trays right now from Neversink Tools without a Gate Card, it would be closer to $21 each tray with shipping. So, for the right person, this is a pretty darn good deal. But more than that, these self pruning trays are farmer vetted awesome.

The tray's biggest strength can be its biggest weakness; open bottoms allow better root formation, but sometimes lets soil out the bottom if moved or watered roughly. Conor Crickmore of Neversink Tools brought back the design from the late 80's after they became hard to find, and started manufacturing in Tennessee. Let us know if you want any testimonials or questions about them answered from farmers in the area. We can also get you a few to try before you buy if that's helpful.
