Modular cubes with numerous cylindrical cavities include a rooting medium and tree in each cavity, whereby a long and narrow root system is established for each such tree within the confines of the respective cylindrical cavity. Individual cavities are provided for each individual tree, though multiple trees can be in a single cavity. The system could be closed, using all of the water supplied to the tree, or open where unused water is drained from the cavities. A drainage medium can be provided with the rooting medium so that the rooting medium is not lost during drainage of water. The cubes with the vegetation are used to remediate a contaminated site, including discharged industrial waste water. Alternatively, the vegetation might be harvested with its long root system and transplanted at a contamination site, the transplantation being made in any suitable manner, i.e., within the ground, within a cavity of a like cube, or in any other expedient for effecting remediation of the site.
