Okay thanks. They come in a plastic tray, six pint-sized containers. They have a hole in the bottom with several inches of roots hanging down through the hole. Last year I cut the containers open with a box cutter. This year they have a kind of edge on top which is very hard to cut through. My sister-in-law suggested I wet them down and that will make it easier to pull them out without damaging them. Since I'm not working right now, this afternoon I'll give it a try.
