Air root pruning containers
Accelerators were the containers we used to test the effects of air root pruning on tree growth. We eventually learned that containers like these with a high ratio of solid wall to holes deflect many roots and do only minimal root pruning. A ratio of wall to holes needs to be close to of 1:10.
