T7.3 Root wrapped trees

root system - root protection - root wrapped trees - rootball trees - container grown trees - cell grown trees

Typically the smaller sizes of trees and those species which transplant more readily will be supplied bare root. All bare root systems must be supplied in bags, containing and enclosing the whole root system and tied at the top. The bags used should be manufactured from co-extruded polythene – black on the inside and white on the outside. Seedlings, cuttings and transplants (up to 30-40 cm, Overall height) are typically supplied with shoots and roots fully enclosed in the bag, whereas for larger trees only the root system is enclosed. Trees should be bagged in the field immediately upon lifting.
