Core Sound Crab Pot Trees Core Sound Crab Pot Trees

The Core Sound Crab Pot tree was invented by a local fisherman/crab pot builder
looking for a way to have a product to sell when crab pot sales were slow

All trees are hand made from PVC coated crab trap wire for a long life and fold flat for easy storage

I was at a local business members meeting a few years back when the inventor brought in a sample tree to show us and get our opinion. Everyone at the meeting thought he had come up with a great idea and told him he should start production.

You will not find these for sale at your local nursery or mega mart !

These trees look great inside or out and come with lights already prestrung, just unfold your tree and plug it in !

Available in white or green pcv coated crab pot wire with clear or mulit colored lights

These trees are hand made down the road from us, not mass produced

Available all year

Additional shipping charges will apply to 4 ft and 6 ft trees as they are considered oversize by UPS

As Crab Pot Trees are shipped UPS we must have a physical mailing address, not a PO Box.

Fertilizer Tabbs

or The Need to Feed !!!

  • We  stock Highland Rim Fertilizer & AgSafe Aquatic Tabs
  • Pond plants need to be fertilized on a regular basis for best results
  • These fertilizers are designed to help promote healthy plant growth, not algae
  • If you are ordering fertilizer and nothing else, select the Lotus Seed/Fertilizer shipping option when checking out
  • The 300 tabb Highland Rim Fertilizer Container is not eligible for the $5.00 shipping option
  • If you are fertilizing several plants, I recommend having someone else hand you the fertilier tabbs as needed.
