Rootball Heavy Standard Trees

Root-balled trees : November to April

All trees are lifted from the ground with the soil intact around the root system. On removal from the ground the root-ball is wrapped in biodegradable hessian and non-galvanised wire. The root-ball should be planted intact with the hessian and wire left on. Once planted the non-galvanised wire soon breaks down and the hessian will rot, allowing the root system to develop. The whole benefit of root-balling is that the root system remaining after lifting ( you will lose about 35% of the root on a regularly transplanted tree ) will not be disturbed during handling, transportation and planting.
