Tree in fabric container just dug from the field
Fabric containers can be used in the ground or above ground. When used above ground roots remain mostly in the bag except for those that grow through the fabric at the bottom. When used in the ground (see tree above), roots grow outside the fabric but they are mostly girdled by the fabric which prevents them from getting too large. Roots outside the fabric and the bag are removed from the tree when the tree is harvested.
