Rocket Root TM Trees
Our innovative concept in proper pear and cherry tree shipping is based on keeping the single most important tree components (roots!) intact and viable. Pears and cherries, in particular, produce larger root laterals than other fruit trees. Trees dug with a majority of these roots undamaged perform much better than those whose roots have been severely cut back.
• Pruned at proper height, 30 in. above bud union, to encourage branching
habit that results in strong tree structure (strengthens crotch of the tree—
no splitting).
• This pruning also results in easier management for the entire life of the tree—
more branches within easy reach.
• More stored carbohydrates create
rapid growth with reserve energy
to overcome hostile planting
conditions (lack of watering, poorly
drained soil, poor soil fertility, etc.).
• Dense system of feeder roots—lessens
transplant shock and enables extremely
efficient absorption of water
and nutrients from the soil.
• Trees become well established much
more quickly, for quicker fruit production.
