Seedlings
are grown in special container cells in which the taproot is
"air pruned", thus promoting the development of hundreds of fine
feeder
roots. This process forms a plug of healthy, vigorous roots.
When the seedling is harvested, this plug of roots is undisturbed
-
dramatically increasing the adaptability and growth rate of the
seedling. Container grown seedlings are easy to plant and can
be planted earlier or later in the season than field grown seedlings. |
