Our Products At Stairway we produce a wide range of Air-Pot grown trees and shrubs for the retail market. These include timeless British garden favourites and the new and unusual varieties sought after by the dedicated gardener. We combine years of traditional horticultural experience with advanced growing techniques developed at Stairway specifically for use with the Superoots Air-Pot to ensure that all of our plants are of the finest possible quality. Every Stairway plant has all the handling benefits from being in a container, without any of the horticultural problems found in traditional container grown stock such as root deformity and unnatural rootball density and distribution. Good roots are the key to all successful growing! With 'growing nature's way' very much in mind, we utilise eco-friendly growing methods.To find out more about our growing methods and techniques, click on the 'Our Products' header above.

The Superoots Air-Pot The Superoots Air-Pot is a recyclable, reusable plastic container that actively enhances the quality of the root systems of plants. This revolutionary approach to containerizing tree stock produces fabulous, non-spiralling root systems that are impossible to develop in any other available container. Made of recycled HDPE, the Superoots Air-Pot is circular in shape with a perforated sidewall, which is textured like an egg carton. There are no flat surfaces to deflect roots and start the spiralling process. The inward pointing cones direct the root towards the hole in the outward pointing cones where the air density in the soil is too great and therefore the apical cells at the very tip of the root dehydrate, or are air-pruned. The response of the plant to this air-pruning is to send out more roots to compensate for the loss, which leads to the build up of a dense and fibrous radial root system in a dramatically short time. The Superoots Air-Pot can be made to any diameter in a variety of heights and can be used with or without a base. The real benefits of using the Superoots Air-Pot are that they: •Eliminate root circling. •Reduce growing time on the nursery. •Simplify production. •Double - at least - the "shelf-life" of stock. •Reduce losses dramatically. •Ensure Superior Performance in Extremes of Weather. •The Air-Pot is made of recycled HDPE.
