AIR PRUNING
A healthy tree develops lateral roots that extend as wide as the tree canopy. RootSmart has a unique, open design with minimal plastic that encourages lateral root growth without obstruction.
As the roots come into contact with the air outside of the RootSmart tray, they naturally prune themselves, allowing continued growth in a healthy, lateral direction.
RootSmart is the only evidence-based tray on the market that produces a natural, uninhibited root system by using air pruning to promote branching and create a fibrous, evenly distributed roots.
