Bon DIGA115 Gopher Wire Basket 15 Gallon 17x20 in

Product Description

The BON DIGA115 is a heavy-duty gopher wire basket designed to protect plant root systems from subterranean rodent damage. Sized for 15-gallon plantings, the basket measures 17 inches in diameter by 20 inches in depth, providing a physical barrier around root balls during installation. Landscapers, groundskeepers, and irrigation contractors install these baskets at the time of planting to prevent gopher and mole intrusion without restricting root growth into the surrounding soil. The wire construction allows water and nutrients to pass through freely while blocking burrowing pests.

This basket is suited for residential and commercial landscape installations where gopher pressure is a known issue. It is typically placed in the planting hole before the tree, shrub, or large perennial is set, then backfilled around the wire form. The 15-gallon capacity makes it appropriate for mid-size container stock commonly used in production nursery and landscape planting operations.

Key Features

• 15-gallon capacity fits standard mid-size container stock
• 17-inch diameter by 20-inch depth accommodates established root balls
• Heavy-duty wire construction resists burrowing pressure from gophers and moles
• Open wire mesh allows water, air, and nutrients to reach roots
• Designed for in-ground installation at time of planting

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement and new-installation gopher barrier basket for 15-gallon nursery container stock used in residential and commercial landscape planting applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by landscape professionals or experienced groundskeeping crews. Dig the planting hole to accommodate the basket dimensions before placing the form, then set the plant and backfill. No special tools are required beyond standard digging equipment. Ensure the top rim of the basket sits at or slightly below finish grade to avoid interference with surface irrigation or mulch layers.
