Root Enhancement System

All the tree material produced by Cherry LakeTree Farm is grown in Air-Pot containers designed to achieve optimal root structure. Our Root Enhancement™ System is utilized during the propagation stage and at every other stage of the product development process.

     

The Air-Pot: A revolution in root pruning!

This three dimensional air-prunning container is the most sophisticated root pruning container to-date. The unique cone like structures on the inner and outer surfaces of the container direct roots into the air holes, preventing spiraling roots and stimulating new root flush from within the core of the system. The result is uniform radial root development around the ball and dense fiberous roots throughout the core of the system.

   
In addition to the Air-Pot, we use a variety of root-enhancement techniques in various combinations to give our trees as solid a foundation as possible. The methods employed are specific to the tree's size and characteristic root structure and may include mechanical, chemical or air prunning.
   
Benefits
   
Instant Impact - Our trees are distinguished by tree mass in relation to canopy density, uniformity, caliper and major scaffolding limbs. The appearance of our trees' foliage is vigorous, healthy, and rich in color.
   
Performance After Transplant - Our trees fulfill the criteria of three major root structure issues. These are (1) uniform, crown-root development to insure secondary-root development and proper tree anchoring, (2) uniform, secondary-root development for abundant fibrous, root development, and (3) dense, fibrous, feeder roots (non spiraling) that allow the tree to absorb maximum quantities of air, water and nutrients.
     
Root Systems with these Qualities:  
  - Increase survivability
- Are less likely to experience transplant shock
- Require less time to permanently anchor in native soils
- Experience an accelerated rate of growth for many years.
