Abstract (en)
[origin: WO8909728A1] Shrubs, in particular rose bushes, are packaged by embedding the roots (12) of the plants (10) essentially free of soil in a moist substrate (14) such as turf and surrounding the roots with a sheath. For this purpose, a tray is made from a wire lattice (16) and partly filled with substrate (14). The roots (12) of the horizontally disposed plant (10) are placed on the substrate (14). Additional substrate (14) is then placed on the roots (12). Finally, a tube is formed from the wire lattice (16) by bringing together the two edges (24, 26) of the tray, which are then joined. A machine for implementing the process has at least one trough (48) on which the wire lattice (16) is laid. A plunger (74) has a shape complementary to that of the trough (48) in which it can be thrust in order to shape the wire lattice (16) into a tray. A holding device (64) for attaching the wire lattice (16) to at least one longitudinal edge of the trough (48) is provided, and at least one flap (60, 62) for bending the wire lattice (16) pivots about this longitudinal edge.
