Better Trees
Healthy trees are valuable assets. Across the industry, greater focus is being placed on examining healthy root structures in the buying process.
It has been reported that for every 100 urban trees planted, only 50 will live 13-20 years. Large-scale tree planting programs support the fight against climate change and producing quality nursery stock is critical to their success.
By promoting healthy root architecture during propagation, RootSmart™ has been shown to improve tree establishment and prevent permanent defects that have been linked with tree mortality:
