The technical solution refers to forestry, and more specifically to planters of forest seedlings with a closed root system, grown in special containers.A seedling of seedlings with a closed root system includes a vertical guide tube with a funnel and a handle at the top, a working member for forming a pit seat in the lower part comprising two blades, one of which has a hinge pin and is fixedly attached to the lower end of the pipe, and the other is movable with the ability to rotate the movable blade and the mechanism for fixing the movable blade in the closed and open positions, comprising a trigger lever, a rod and a spring. In this case, the working member for forming the seat is provided with a closed oval frame with holes on the sides for hinging connection with the axis of the hinge of the fixed blade and an additional pedal for inserting the working member into the soil, with the pedal insertion of the working element into the soil and the pedal of the swivel blade are welded to an oval closed frame from the outside on either side of the hinge hole in the plane passing through the axis of the vertical pipe, and the swivel blade to the enclosing section of the closed frame, the trigger lever of the movable blade fixation mechanism in the closed and open positions is equipped with a horizontal hole at the end and welded on the upper edge of the oval frame so that the center of the hole in the extreme positions of the turning blade is located along the p side of the vertical axis of said hinge. Moreover, as a spring, a compression spring is used, the female rod is provided, the guide tube is provided with a horizontal stop for the upper end of the spring and with an opening for the upper end of the rod which is provided with an abutment for the lower end of the spring,Carrying out the planting of seedlings with an additional pedal increases the convenience of its introduction into the untreated soil and evenly burdens the operators legs, and the supply of the de
