Air Pot Trees

For the supply of trees from May until October, trees 14-16cm girth and larger are grown using the air pot system. This consists of a perforated plastic sleeve surrounding the root zone, allowing them to be air pruned at their tip, encouraging the build up of a stable fibrous root system. Prior to delivery, the plastic sleeve is removed, and the root system is wrapped with hessian wrap and wire cage.

Advantages of a J. A. Jones Air Pot Tree include:

• availability out of the traditional planting season
• supply continuity as trees are supplied by a single known source
• quality of stock produced
• reduced establishment time
• elimination of root spiralling as found in traditional 'container grown' trees
• ease of handling as no additional machinery required
• environmental awareness as no packaging waste
• easy to anchor using underground systems
