When you invest in your property, you expect your trees to grow for generations. Many trees in urban areas fail within a decade because of poor root development. This often happens because traditional nursery methods can lead to hidden defects that shorten a tree’s life.
One major issue is stem girdling roots. These roots circle the trunk and eventually choke the tree as it grows. This problem is frequently caused by incorrect tree planting depth. When a tree is buried too deep in the soil, it cannot access the oxygen required for healthy growth.
Legacy-Trees uses air root-pruning technology to solve these problems. This system encourages roots to grow outward like the spokes of a wheel, ensuring proper tree planting from the very beginning. By creating a fibrous and natural root system, we set the stage for a tree that lives for a century rather than just a decade.
We believe in our method so much that we offer a 5-year warranty for trees in our care program. This commitment to quality is available for projects across Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota. Plant once and plant a legacy for the future.
This video demonstrates how underground root issues can impact the health of a tree and explains the solutions used to prevent early failure.
