Trees out of the gutter  Gutter Harvester GH 10

 Revolutionary development in the nursery field, amazing test results. 

Since 2005 tree nurseries have experimented with growing in gutters, with the main target to dose water and fertilizer locally, directly at the trees roots.

A clever combination of the well known and prooven air-pot system and the gutter, led to today’s new development the gutter above ground level, at working height.

Together with the University in Wageningen a test-nursery’s in Holland has been testing this growth-method on several types of trees for the passed years.

The results were amazing. Trees, stems and stems for top grafted trees developed a non spiral rootsystem equal to what normally grows in 1 ½  years ! 

Advantages of growing in the gutter 

The trees grow more evenly, faster and fuller.

The rapid development of a non spiral root-network give the tree a better establishment and higher survival chance after planting, almost all year round.

It is possible to plant more trees on less space.

Fertilizer and water can be dosed locally, which can result in considerable savings.

Growers can work at ergonomic heights that saves the back.

Environmental friendly, no waste during harvest.

The harvest with the GH 10 is very efficient. Trees move towards you and the rootballs are cut to size.
