General Information

WHAT ARE EVERGROW BAGS?

+

Innovative containers for growing fruit trees in small spaces or colder climates by moving plants inside during winter.

HOW DO EVERGROW BAGS WORK?

+

They restrict and partly contain roots, diverting energy to flowers, fruit, and nuts. Used above or below ground, they maintain a healthy cycle of new roots forming.

How Evergrown Bags Work

Can EverGrow Bags be used both above and below ground?

+

Yes. Above ground, roots air prune naturally. Below ground, roots grow into the surrounding soil but are restricted by the bag’s outer material.

What happens to the tree’s growth in EverGrow Bags?

+

Growth is restricted, diverting energy into reproduction, resulting in more flowers, fruit, and nuts.

Watering

How often should I water my EverGrow Bag?

+

Regularly during the fruiting season; less in dormant months.

How can I retain moisture in my EverGrow Bag?

+

Use a slanting saucer, shade the bag, mound soil/woodchips around it, or create a wicking bed or slow dripping system.

Pruning

How should I prune a young fruit tree in an EverGrow Bag?

+

Perform a header cut between knee and hip height, depending on branch structure and desired shape.

Should I make a header cut on bush-type edibles?

+

No, they already have their early branching structure.

Air Pruning

What is air pruning?

+

Air pruning is a natural process where roots are exposed to air, causing the root tips to dry out and prune themselves. This encourages the plant to produce new, healthy, and more fibrous roots.

How do EverGrow Bags facilitate air pruning?

+

EverGrow Bags are made of a breathable fabric that allows fine roots to penetrate and grow through the outer fabric. When the roots are exposed to air, they naturally prune themselves, promoting the growth of new and healthy branching roots.

What are the benefits of air pruning for my plants?

+

Air pruning prevents roots from becoming root-bound and encourages a denser, more efficient root system. This leads to better absorption of water and nutrients, resulting in healthier plant growth and higher yields.

Do I need to root prune or repot my plants in EverGrow Bags?

+

No, there is no need to root prune or repot your plants in EverGrow Bags. The natural air pruning process maintains a healthy cycle of root growth without manual intervention​.

Are there specific plants that benefit more from air pruning?

+

While most plants can benefit from air pruning, it is particularly effective for fruit trees, vegetables, and ornamental plants that tend to become root-bound in traditional containers​.

How do I care for plants in EverGrow Bags with air pruning?

+

Plants in EverGrow Bags require similar care to those in traditional containers. Ensure they receive adequate water, nutrients, and sunlight. Monitor moisture levels, as the bags may dry out faster than non-breathable containers​.

How can I tell if air pruning is working for my plant?

+

Signs that air pruning is working include a dense, fibrous root system, vigorous plant growth, improved overall health, and fewer instances of root circling or root-bound conditions​.

Fertilizer

What type of fertilizer should I use for my fruit trees in EverGrow Bags?

+

Use a low nitrogen fertilizer in spring and early summer, and Potassium in autumn.

Can I use compost mulch?

+

Yes, a mix of woody materials works well.

Safety Warning

Are EverGrow Bags heavy when filled?

+

Yes, follow safe lifting practices.
