Beneficial Mycorrhizae-Boost Root Growth
You've heard of inoculating plants like beans, peas, and clover, but did you know that you should be inoculating your trees too?That's right, trees have beneficial microbes that live on their roots just like other plants do. These microbes are called mycorrhizae. They grow in and on tree root systems and help them take up nutrients and water from the soil more effectively. Mycorrhizae increase root growth and root mass significantly which leads to healthier, more drought resistant, and faster growing plants. Many studies have shown the benefits of mycorrhizae for all kinds of plants including trees and we have seen it first hand in trees planted here on our farm. You can see the difference it makes in the picture above. The plant on the left was grown without mycorrhizae while the one on the right had mycorrhizae. The results speak for themselves, you can see the difference it made in just 6 months of growth. We don't plant any trees on our farm without mycorrhizae because of the diffe
