Stage
3 Liners require two growing seasons.
These 5 or 7 gallon RootTrapper®
Liners are used for the seedlings
germinated and grown in 5-inch
Knit Bags the previous year.
The following spring, Stage 2 Liners are
up canned into our Stage 3 production
system and grown for another season.
Root branching develops by root-tip trapping,
which is complemented by the fibrous root
development in our Stage 1 and 2 Growing
Systems. This dynamic non-circling,
fibrous root system enables our
RootForce™ Liners to outperform
conventional bare root or liners growin
in smooth sided plastic containers.
Since not all nurseries sell to the same
markets, custom
pruning is available for Stage 3 Liners.
A customized pruning regimen enables us
to provide you with liners that not only
outperform the competition, but are sculpted
in a manner that suits your application.
Medium to fast
growing species finish 6-9 feet
in height, with a 7/8 to 1 1/4-inch
trunk diameter. These well
developed liners nicely complement
quick turnaround systems
such as pot-in-pot
production or retail sales.
