One application supports healthier establishment and long-term growth for the lifetime of the plant.
rootgrow™ Professional 5L – Professional Root Support for Large Landscaping & Planting Projects
Our
rootgrow™ Professional 5L tub is a professional-grade planting additive developed for large landscaping schemes, commercial planting projects, nurseries, and high-volume tree and hedging installations. Containing natural
mycorrhizal fungi, rootgrow™ helps plants establish faster by creating a beneficial underground fungal network that significantly improves nutrient and water uptake.
Perfect for use across our range of
bare root hedging, rootball plants, pot grown trees, pleached trees, topiary, ornamental shrubs, climbers, grasses, and screening plants, rootgrow™ supports stronger root establishment while helping reduce transplant stress after planting.
How rootgrow™ Works
Mycorrhizal fungi naturally occur in healthy soils and form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots. Once applied during planting, the fungi attach to 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 more quickly
• Reduce transplant shock
• Improve drought resilience
• Support healthier long-term growth
Once established, the fungi continue benefiting the plant naturally for its entire lifetime.

The Professional 5L tub is ideal for:
• Large-scale hedging projects
• Commercial landscaping schemes
• Tree and avenue planting
• Pleached tree installations

Its large volume makes it an extremely cost-effective option for projects involving significant quantities of plants or larger specimen stock.

Application rates vary depending on plant size, root mass, and planting method.
Natural & Environmentally Friendly
rootgrow™ is completely natural and environmentally friendly. The fungi occur naturally within healthy soil ecosystems and help support plant health without relying on harsh chemicals or artificial growth stimulants.
Unlike temporary feeds or liquid tonics, rootgrow™ creates a long-term biological support system 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 make direct 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, climbers, grasses, 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).
Summary
rootgrow™ Professional 5L is a professional-quality planting additive designed to improve root establishment, plant health, and long-term growth naturally. Ideal for large hedging, tree, shrub, topiary, and landscaping projects, it provides a highly effective and cost-efficient solution for professional planting schemes and high-volume applications.
