3rd stage
Finished product produced in RootMaker® II, a honeycone designed container that directs the roots outward through a projecting funnel, forcing root branching yet again by air-root-pruning - caliber size 1” and above.
2nd stage
Trees are moved to 5”, 8” and 10” knit fabric grow bags in ground for one to two growing seasons. This stage continues the development of a very fibrous, well-branched root system by root constriction. We offer this second stage material for liner stock or potting up for retail sales - caliber size between 1|2” to 1”.
strong start
Plants start in an air root prune environment using RootMaker® propagation containers, creating a fibrous root system. Propagation containers direct root tips toward one of many openings on the sides and base of the container, encouraging both vertical and horizontal branching. As the tip dehydrates, secondary roots are produced.
The final product is a very fibrous root system, which translates to a greater absorption of water and nutrients, delivering a more vigorous growth rate at transplanting.
