Hi
I'm doing a spot of apple grafting, and wanted to put the resulting plants into what I believe are called "rose pots" until the trees go into the ground next year. I have one or two that are ~23cm tall (or deep, depending on how you think about it) and ~13 - 14cm across that contained fruit bushes I bought.
I want square ones because I have a feeling that the roots of plants grown in square pots grow out better into the surrounding soil once planted out.
So far, I've managed to find a supplier who can sell me 200 (see https://www.lbsbuyersguide.co.uk/extra-deep-pots-2ltr), but this is about 190 more than I need. I've found a few places that sell round ones, but not square ones.
Any ideas where I could get hold of 10 - 12? I suspect I could ask a nursery, but they might just point me in the direction of their own bulk supplier...
