“AZT” Root Management Program AZT’s growing method is designed to promote root branching and a more fibrous root system at every phase of nursery production. Growth containers are specifically selected that radiate developing root growth toward openings in the container. Once a root reaches these openings in the container the root tips dehydrate, then secondary roots are stimulated and continue to grow in this horizontal direction. At transplant these secondary roots ultimately also reach openings, dehydrate and the process repeats producing tertiary root branching. This process repeated, promotes a denser fibrous root system. Increasing the trees fibrous root mass over conventional growing methods allows greater absorption of water and nutrients, accelerates the trees establishment and improves survivability in the next container or in the landscape. University studies have shown this to increase trees transplant success and improve landscape performance.
