Hello all,
I've been trying to come up with methods for "containing" in-ground growout plantings. Specifically, I have a couple of Carolina hornbeams and oaks that I pulled up from a future home-site that seem to have done well with the cutting back. I would like to grow them out in-ground to accelerate their nebari and girth growth.
Do you have a way to prevent a giant taproot (oak) or the massize horizontal spread (hornbeam) of these trees while allowing them to benefit from being in the ground for a few years?
Can a strainer/basket type container be used under them?
Any ideas would be wonderful as I need to get them into the ground as soon as it thaws enough!
Thanks,
Wade
