rootgrow™ 60g – Mycorrhizal Fungi for Stronger Root Establishment
Our
rootgrow™ 60g pack is a simple but highly effective planting aid designed to help trees, hedging, shrubs, climbers, grasses, and ornamental plants establish faster and grow stronger. Containing natural
mycorrhizal fungi, rootgrow™ works by forming a secondary root system around the plant’s roots, dramatically improving nutrient and water uptake.
Ideal for use across our range of
bare root, rootball, and pot grown plants, rootgrow™ is one of the best ways to give newly planted stock the strongest possible start.
How rootgrow™ Works
Mycorrhizal fungi occur naturally in healthy soils and form a beneficial relationship with plant roots. Once applied directly to the root system at planting, the fungi grow alongside the roots and effectively extend the plant’s underground network.
This expanded root system helps plants:
• Absorb water more efficiently
• Access nutrients more effectively
• Establish faster after planting
• Improve resilience during dry periods
• Reduce transplant stress
One application supports the plant for its entire lifetime, making it one of the most cost-effective planting additives available.
Ideal for Hedging, Trees & Topiary
At Harrod Outdoors, we particularly recommend rootgrow™ when planting:
• Bare root hedging
• Rootball hedging and trees
• Pot grown trees and shrubs
• Pleached trees
• Topiary plants
• Ornamental grasses and climbers
It is especially beneficial for larger or more mature plants, where strong root establishment is critical during the first growing season.
Suitable for All Planting Projects
Whether you are planting a small residential hedge, a large screening project, or feature specimen trees, rootgrow™ helps maximise establishment success naturally without the use of harsh chemicals or synthetic stimulants.
The 60g pack is ideal for smaller planting projects and can treat:
• Up to 6 x 2L pots
• One 10L plant
This makes it perfect for smaller hedging runs, garden projects, or adding to individual specimen plantings.
Natural & Plant Friendly
rootgrow™ is completely natural and safe to use around gardens, edible planting, wildlife areas, and ornamental landscapes. The fungi occur naturally in healthy soils and work alongside the plant rather than forcing artificial growth.
Unlike liquid feeds or temporary stimulants, rootgrow™ creates a long-term underground support system that continues benefiting the plant for years after planting.
Application Instructions
Apply rootgrow™ directly onto the roots during planting. The fungi must make physical contact with the root system in order to colonise successfully.
For bare root and rootball plants, sprinkle directly into the planting hole around the roots. For pot grown plants, apply around the rootball before backfilling with soil.
Suitability & Limitations
rootgrow™ is suitable for most garden plants including trees, shrubs, hedging, flowering plants, edibles, climbers, and grasses.
Please note that rootgrow™ is
not suitable for:
• Brassicas
• Rhododendrons
• Azaleas
• Heathers
• Cranberries
• Blueberries
For these varieties,
rootgrow™ Ericoid should be used instead (except Brassicas).
Summary
rootgrow™ 60g is a natural, professional-grade planting additive that helps trees, hedging, shrubs, climbers, and ornamental plants establish faster and healthier. By improving root performance naturally, it helps reduce transplant stress, improves water and nutrient uptake, and supports stronger long-term growth from the moment of planting.
Disclaimer
Always apply directly to the root system during planting for best results. Store in a cool, dry place and use before the expiry date shown on the packaging. Product packaging and appearance may vary slightly between batches.
