FIELD-GROW CONTAINERS* IN THE GROUND
from. . .ROOT CONTROL, INC.

A totally new system of growing caliper size trees and large shrubs in soil in the field with containment of most of the root system for greater transplanting success.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

1. Trees or shrubs planted in the unique Field-Grow Containers in the ground, use existing good field soil; no expensive soil amendments are needed.

2. As the roots grow outward, they contact and penetrate the unique fabric of the Field-Grow Container.

3. Some roots grow through the Container, but are very restricted and partially girdled.

4. Water and nutrient absorption occurs at the root tips and is increased due to increased root branching.  Moisture and nutrients pass freely through the container.

5. The transfer of water and nutrients up to the leaves is through the center of the root (xylem) and proceeds normally.

6. Carbohydrates manufactured by the leaves are returned by the outer portion of the root (phloem) and proceeds normally.

7. The accumulation of food manufactured by the plant in the stern and roots means:

   1. better branch bud development

   2. increased stem caliper

   3. increased root branching

   4. increased rate of root growth following transplanting.
