√ SOLUTION

Root Booster NET for Trees
- Root Booster NET for trees provides a channel for transporting water and air from the surface of the ground down to the root zone via capillary action.
- This promotes healthy growth, even in challenging environments.
APPROACH:
- An Exploratory Endeavor
- In 2016, trees with Root Booster NET around their root balls were planted along the Danube pathway and streets. A “control group” of identical trees was planted at the same time—without NET around their roots.
THE RESULTS:
- Exceeded Expectations
- Fast forward to 2023 and the impact of Root Booster NET on the city’s trees has become undeniable.
- Trees planted with NET have not only survived but have flourished in their challenging environment.
- They exhibit fuller canopies and healthier growth compared to the trees without NET.
- The NET-equipped trees stand taller and more robust, defying the odds of urban conditions and limited access to water—a powerful testament to the effectiveness of Root Booster NET for trees.
