How the Air-Pot works

expert horticulturists know that the airport system is the best way for plants to develop the healthy root system that they need at the Royal Botanical Gardens Kew over 3,000 species many of them rare or endangered are now grown in airport containers the airport container brings about better growth in two ways well-drained and aerated compost allows healthy bacteria to release more nutrient to the plant and it's revolutionary design dramatically improves the roots the process starts with a tap root when it reaches the base increased air and the growing medium dehydrates the tip this prunes it and stimulates lateral root growth every root is then guided by the shape of the pot wall towards an air hole where further pruning stimulates more root branching right back to the stem the process is repeated and the plant rapidly develops a mass of outward pointing fibrous roots this enables the plant to absorb more nutrients and water stimulating faster growth to demonstrate the benefits we washed out the roots of this Escalus that has spent two years in a twenty liter airport container the air pruning has produced a dense mass of fibrous roots with no circling ready to establish instantly when the tree goes into the landscape a unique feature of the airport system is the ability to use the airport wall to make containers for any size of tree in them trees develop a fantastic fibrous root structure in a remarkably short time this dense mass of roots wrapped in Hessian and wire makes the trees easy to handle and transport [Music] Airport grown trees go into the landscape with no deformities just a fantastic root structure roots immediately explode out of the root ball and take on the challenge of the new domain ensuring survival and allowing the tree to put on growth without check [Music] standard root balls take time to put on new root growth increasing the chance of failure while the instant establishment of airport grown stock can deliver a 100% success rate all over the world Airport grown trees are now being specified for the biggest and most prestigious landscaping project where plant failure is not an option every tree for London's Olympic Park was Airport grown 12,000 trees and shrubs were grown in an airport container for the site of Expo 2015 in Milan the extraordinary vertical forest development has incorporated airpot grown trees into the architecture of two residential blocks in London the designers of the soon to be built garden bridge have specified only airpot grown stock when the eyes of the world are on your project airport groom trees guarantee the very best results [Music] you
