tree planting process
A 100 year old tree starts today
The most critical stage in an urban tree’s life is at its planting. Rainbow’s innovative process ensures roots grow where they thrive best.
How Our Method Works
1
A wide, shallow root zone is extracted, keeping the roots intact, and wrapped for transport.
2
The planting site is prepared, and the tree is planted at your location using proper methods.
3
Roots establish and above-average tree growth in first years.
Roots Need to Breathe
Tree roots need oxygen to grow. When a tree is planted too deeply, less oxygen is available, leading to poor root growth.
Rainbow’s unique planting method places the tree roots for optimal growth, avoiding the common pitfalls of other growing and planting practices.
Common Planting Pitfalls:
- Roots planted too deeply
- Poor root development
- Reduced water availability
A Better Approach
Trees planted by Rainbow benefit from innovative methods that mimic their natural forest environment, making it a superior approach to traditional planting techniques. Leading to:
- Stronger, healthier root systems planted fully intact
- Optimal planting depth allowing roots to take hold quicker
- Quicker tree establishment and above-average growth in the first year
