AIRPOT

For larger trees which are required throughout the year, our air pot trees are grown in peat-free compost. The air pot system consists of a perforated plastic sleeve which surrounds the root zone, allowing the roots 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 a biodegradable hessian wrap and wire cage.

Advantages of a J. A. Jones air pot tree includes:

availability out of the traditional planting season
supply continuity as trees are supplied by a single known source
grown in peat free compost
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
fibrous root system reduces the chance of transplant shock

Unlike field grown trees, this system is not a time restricted process, and so provides a degree of flexibility for projects whose completion dates are dependent on outside factors.
