Introduction to Headstarters
Headstarters™ are bare-root Paulownia trees with trimmed trunks. They are ready to plant in the ground and will regenerate a new trunk rapidly with warm weather and correct management.
Headstarters™ have well-developed roots systems at least 75mm deep. These roots have a framework of thick fleshy main roots as well as some finer feeder roots - not just a single tap root. These thick roots contain the energy the tree needs to quickly re-generate in the field.
The trunks are trimmed just above a strong node usually at about 50 to 75mm tall. They have many reserve buds, ready to sprout, ensuring a new trunk will develop even if some of the buds are damaged - for example by adverse weather.
