Branch Rooted Characteristics
The branch rooted trait delivers improved root protection and durability in the ground during periods of freezing and thawing. Branch rooting has also proven beneficial under wetter conditions, and improved tolerance to saturated soils. Reload is also well suited to normal, well-drained soils to produce optimal yields over the life of the stand.
