I transplanted two Bur Oaks that I grew in 18 cell Rootmaker trays into a 2 gallon Rootmaker pot and into a 2 gallon Rootbuilder II container. This a going to be a comparison to see which one produces a better plant. I also demonstrate how to assemble the Rootbuilder II container.

Very cool video looking for an update on your channel. Good job brother.
Never filmed an update on these but both trees are about six feet tall and almost identical, so end result is you could use either one and get the same result.
@@GrowNewPlants thanks for posting, I'm getting some of these.
Can't wait to see how they do
I will post updates on my instagram as soon as I start seeing any differences instagram.com/grownewplants/
Haven't seen updates for a while, hope you're doing well and would love an update on these root pruners.
I too.
@@GrowNewPlants HI, how did your experiment turn out? I clicked on your Instagram link twice, but the page wouldn't load up. Not sure why.
I love this experiment. Can you do an update soon?
Waiting for updates 😍😍
Thank you! lots of practical hands on video and info... subscribed!
1:04 Why are there no drainage holes in the bottom cover?
Any update on this ?
Would love to see the update
Will update this in the spring after the spring growth hits
Can you do a video in which you talk about what root stock for what trees? I have been growing fruiting cherry trees from seed for years but that is very hit or miss as far as getting a good fruit. I am in Virginia so I can't do citrus (no greenhouse). I find this subject interesting as my greatgrandfather brought grafting to the US when he came from Italy. He grafted plum stock onto damsons (or vice versa - my family doesn't have much info on it) and worked with grape vines somehow (he brought grape vines from Italy) so I may have a gift for it hopefully!
I dont have any experience with grafting fruit trees, other than the citrus on the flying dragon stock. other than that just the Japanese maples and pecans
Any chance giving us an update on how they did?
unfortunately the extreme freeze last winter got them :(
@@GrowNewPlants Oh no! Thanks for answering though.
@@GrowNewPlants I feel like you've kind of left us hanging. Okay, so the freeze killed them. But several questions: Were they still in the pots when the freeze came? What could you have done to prevent that? When is the best time to move these small trees from pots to the ground for greatest success? If they'd been put in the ground in the fall and mulched heavily with oak leaves, would that have protected them from the freeze? I've followed your bur oak videos to the point that I now have 19 (out of 21 collected last fall) actively growing in the small Rootmaker starter trays, and am trying to decide where to go from here. I most likely will plant all of these on my place, so should I go ahead and move them to the ground now (it's June 16)? (The insects tend to eat the leaves in summer.) Or move them to larger pots and then transfer to ground in the fall? Or just leave them in the starter trays 'til fall? (Leaving them in pots over winter, here in northern OK, doesn't seem like a formula for success.) Great videos, and thank you! for that. But please close the loop for us.
Wish there was an update video 😢
So you are filling up the holes by putting the zip ties in the holes.
Which pot is the best?
Do you have an update to this?
Any updates? This is really what I was looking for before investing in a ton of their post. Root builder Vs Root maker results.
Not yet, Neither one had enough time to put on much growth, will do an update after spring flush on them
Are they squirrel proof?
Ha, I hope so!!
I once put a fig tree in my bank's safety deposit box and when I came to check on it the squirrels had eaten all of the fruit.
gossumx 😂😂😂
@@gossumx Ha, I wouldn't be surprised!!
where are the results?
I never posted a follow-up, both trees look almost identical, same size and both healthy, cant go wrong with either one,
@@GrowNewPlants great thanks for the update. I was curious, I’ve been using root maker and really like them.
This guy is incredibly inconsiderate and doesnt mind wasting peoples time. . . He says the oak seedlings died. . . . This video provides negative value. . . Guy is happy to waste the time of 7000 viewers and counting.
