Root control bag

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A process for growing nursery stock (e.g. trees shrubs, etc.) involving the specific improvement of confining root propagation to a nonwoven porous polymeric fabric bag such that grown through the bag is severely constricted at the fabric, producing a girdling effect and root branching within the bag. Such a process leads to a tightly packed, highly root branched soil ball even in loose sandy loam that is easily removed from the field readily, transported and effective in re-establishing the tree upon transplanting even during the hot summer months.
