What is air root pruning?
Air root pruning is one of the growing techniques we use to encourage our trees to produce a healthy and vigorous root system. When a root tip is pruned, the plant will respond by growing two or more new roots. If these new roots are also pruned , even more new roots will be grown. Each time this happens, the plant develops a stronger root system. The special pots and raised wire benches that we use throughout our growing system, allows us to take air root pruning to the highest level and encourage new root growth everyday. We have proven that our Imagine Backyard TreesĀ® grown using our air root pruning methods, will transplant with little or no shock. This allows them to become established quicker, remain healthier,and mature into specimen trees in your landscape, much sooner than conventional bare root trees.
