Answer:
1. A method for transplanting plants or trees growing in a medium contained in a container, said container being a container of prestressed glass that is open at at least one end thereof and which breaks up into many small pieces when nicked or fractured at any point, which comprises embedding such container in a surrounding medium in which a plant or tree can grow, and then, while said container is so embedded, fracturing said container at a point to break up said container into many small pieces.
2. A method according to claim 1 wherein said medium in which said container is embedded at least includes soil.
3. A method according to claim 1 wherein said container is open at two ends thereof to permit the plant or tree to grow through one end and drainage through the other end.
4. A method according to claim 1 wherein said container includes a liner of opaque material.
5. A method according to claim 1 wherein said container is in the shape of a tube.
6. A method according to claim 5 wherein said container is open at two ends thereof to permit the plant or tree to grow through one end and drainage through the other end.
7. A method according to claim 1 wherein said container is fabricated of chemically tempered glass.
8. A method according to claim 1 wherein said container is fabricated of mechanically tempered glass.

Explanation:
It is common practice to raise young plants and trees in a container from seeds planted in nursery soil in the container, the plant or tree (with the container) subsequently being transplanted in the desired location for the plant or tree.
The major advantages of the use of such containers are elimination of transplanting shock and retention of nutrients and moisture within the confines of the container for a period after field planting. Also, depending upon the type of container employed, the use of such containers may facilitate mechanical planting of plants and trees growing in the soil in the container.
