Using the new Tubettes to properly train the roots has proven to be very effective.

Even as the trees continue to grow you will never have to worry about twisted roots. The Tubettes are really perfect for growing trees and for transplanting later.

The caliper of the rootstock is about ready to bud. You may wish to start hardening off the transplants if you are going to field transplant right away.

The trees are getting older, but the roots are still straight with no twisting. It is time to bud and as you can see the root system will hold together.
|
|
|

Trees are ready to bud now. The caliper is even throughout and is large enough to top work or bud.
