ROOT CONTROL INGROUND GROW BAG

 The Root Control Bag is a fabric container that root prunes a plant’s root structure and make harvesting quick and

easy.
-
Think System!
-
Today, a large number of great nurserymen use the bag system to their advantage. The system produces the highest

quality plant at the lowest cost. We urge you to visit a nursery that has used the system for years and to buy some bag

grown trees.
-
How Does The Root Control Bag System Work?
-
Trees and shrubs are planted into the Root Control Bag. As the roots of the plant grow, they hit the fuzzy inside fabric of

the bag. Importantly, roots do not circle on the fabric as they do against plastic. Instead the root is caught by the fuzzy

inner surface of the material. The root penetrates the fabric. The tough fabric, however, prevents the root from expanding.

The root is choked or girdled by the fabric. The choking causes the root to lose its apical dominance and lateral

branching or pruning occurs inside the bag.
-
Root Prune For Transplant Success!
-
Root Pruning is important to the health of a transplanted plant. A high quality plant saves you money. With the Smart

Pot-In Ground, approximately 80% of the root structure is harvested with the plant. By contrast, a study at Michigan

State University showed that up to 98% of a tree’s root structure can be cut away with normal digging procedures.
-
Porous Bag - A Buildup Of Carbohydrates.
-
The Bag is porous. Moisture and nutrients pass freely into and out of the bag. Water and nutrient absorption occurs

normally both inside and outside the bag at the root tips. Water and nutrients are transferred up through the center of

the root, the xylem. Carbohydrates manufactured in the leaves travel down the outer cambium layer of the plant, the

phloem. This carbohydrate flow is stopped or greatly restricted by the fabric. A build up of carbohydrates ensues within

the root structure inside the Bag. Many roots will swell on the inside and outside of the bag, and a natural callusing

occurs at the bag surface. Root primordia form with the callus, assuring rapid root regeneration at transplanting.
-
Remove The Bag
-
When the tree is transplanted, REMOVE THE BAG. Water the plant. Because of the fibrous feeder root development,

the carbohydrate build up, and the root callusing, new root regeneration is almost immediate. Expect a greatly

expanded harvesting season, superior transplanting success and top growth the season following transplanting.
-
Tough Round Bottom
-
The bottom of the Root Control Bag is a heavy, semi-heat sealed fabric that allows moisture to pass through but will not

allow much root penetration. When roots hit the bottom fabric, they stick to the fabric and do not travel. Importantly, the

bottom is one circle and is not creased or folded, so roots do not grow into creases or folds. This makes bag removal

easy. The bottom of the Bag is applied by a hot melt glue process. The glue process leaves a flat bottom and no sewn

seam through which a root can escape. The superior fabric, the glue process and the years of testing make the Smart

Pot-In Ground the best growing system available.
