The superior root system of the Air-Pot grown tree has already led to stronger growth. The Air-Pot grown tree has 20% greater girth and is 12% taller, the top growth is denser and there are&nbsp;smaller gaps between nodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The extremely healthy root systems of Air-Pot<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>&nbsp;propagated plants mean it is possible to make big jumps in the size of pot.
