rootgrow™ Professional 2.5L – Mycorrhizal Fungi for Large Planting Projects
Our rootgrow™ Professional 2.5L tub is a high-performance planting aid designed for landscapers, trade professionals, and larger planting projects. Containing natural mycorrhizal fungi , rootgrow™ works by forming a highly efficient secondary root system around the plant’s roots, dramatically improving nutrient and water uptake. Suitable for use with bare root, rootball, and pot grown plants , the 2.5L tub can treat hundreds of plants depending on plant size and application rate, making it ideal for hedging, trees, shrubs, climbers, grasses, topiary, and large-scale landscaping projects where strong root establishment is essential. One application supports healthier establishment and long-term growth for the lifetime of the plant.
rootgrow™ Professional 2.5L – Professional Root Support for Trees, Hedging & Landscaping
Our
rootgrow™ Professional 2.5L tub is a professional-grade planting additive developed for larger planting schemes, landscaping projects, and high-volume tree and hedging installations. Containing natural
mycorrhizal fungi, rootgrow™ helps plants establish faster by forming a beneficial underground fungal network that dramatically improves nutrient and water uptake.
Ideal for use across our range of
bare root hedging, rootball plants, pot grown trees, pleached trees, topiary, climbers, ornamental grasses, shrubs, and screening plants, rootgrow™ helps reduce transplant stress while encouraging stronger and healthier root development from the moment of planting.
How rootgrow™ Works
Mycorrhizal fungi naturally occur within healthy soils and work in partnership with plant roots. Once applied directly during planting, the fungi colonise the root system and effectively extend the plant’s underground reach far beyond its natural root zone.
This helps plants:
• Improve nutrient uptake
• Increase water absorption
• Establish roots faster
• Reduce transplant shock
• Improve drought resilience
• Support healthier long-term growth
Once established, the fungi continue supporting the plant naturally for its entire lifetime.
Ideal for Trade & Large Planting Projects
The Professional 2.5L tub is particularly well suited to:
• Large hedging projects
• Tree and avenue planting
• Rootball and pot grown installations
• Pleached tree planting
• Topiary and screening projects
• Commercial and residential landscaping
• Garden designers and professional landscapers
Its larger volume makes it a highly cost-effective solution for projects involving multiple plants or larger specimen stock.
Suitable for Bare Root, Rootball & Pot Grown Plants
Unlike many planting additives aimed purely at bare root stock, rootgrow™ Professional works exceptionally well across a wide range of root types. It can be applied directly to:
• Bare root hedging and whips
• Rootball hedging and trees
• Pot grown shrubs and trees
• Mature specimen plants
• Climbers, grasses, and ornamental planting
This makes it an excellent all-round planting aid for mixed landscaping and garden projects.
Natural & Environmentally Friendly
rootgrow™ is completely natural and environmentally friendly. The fungi occur naturally within healthy soil ecosystems and support plant development without relying on artificial growth stimulants or harsh chemicals.
Unlike temporary liquid feeds, rootgrow™ creates a permanent biological support network beneath the soil surface, helping plants naturally access more nutrients and moisture over time.
Application Instructions
Apply rootgrow™ directly into the planting hole so the granules come into contact with the roots during planting.
For bare root plants, apply around the root system before backfilling. For rootball and pot grown plants, sprinkle around the rootball within the planting hole.
Direct root contact is essential for successful fungal colonisation.
Suitability & Limitations
rootgrow™ is suitable for most trees, hedging plants, shrubs, flowering plants, grasses, climbers, and edible planting.
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).
