Description

GreenBlue Urban recommends the use of mycorrhizal fungi to support the establishment and long-term health of urban trees. Over 90% of all plants depend on mycorrhizal fungi, a group of micro-organisms that help to seek out, release and transport essential nutrients and water to the tree. These fungal partners live with their host throughout its lifetime, acting as a vast secondary rooting system, increasing the root capacity of a tree by up to 700 times. The fast establishment of this partnership ensures a newly planted tree has its best chance of both early and long-term growth.


Features and benefits:

  • Reduces mortality – for bare-rooted, root balled and container-grown trees.
  • Better drought tolerance – the vast fungal root system makes best use of all available soil moisture.
  • Earlier and better root growth – potentially increasing active root area by up to 700 times.
  • Better uptake of fertilizers – the network of mycorrhizal fungi acts like a net, catching nutrients and preventing leaching.
  • Increased uptake of trace elements from the soil.
  • Supports performance of SUDs tree pits by increasing moisture take-up by the trees.
