Trees are container grown using multiple panel tree supports that are readily cut apart and removed in transplanting to minimize transplanting shock on the plant. Two types of support are disclosed. One is a pail-like container with a removable bottom and a side wall that may be split. The bottom of the support is removed by cutting three tabs. After the tree has been located in the transplantation hole, the peripheral wall is opened by cutting a further three tabs so that it can be removed without disrupting the tree roots. The second version of the apparatus has four panels radiating from a common center. This unit is used in conjunction with an outer container. Rope handles joining respective pairs of the panels are used for lifting the support and the tree out of the outer container. When the tree has been located in a hole dug for this purpose, the panels are separated by cutting the web joining them at the center and they are drawn out from under the tree, thus minimizing damage to the tree roots.
