A brand new tree nursery with some brand new ideas. Our container grown native trees are grown with survivability in mind. We wanted to offer you a stronger healthier tree in less time or as we say "Better Trees Faster!".
As technology and our knowledge evolve, the practices of EGI (Earthgen International Ltd.) continue to evolve. As growers, our goals are to protect the environment in which we live and ensure our business is healthy. To achieve these goals we have evolved beyond traditional horticultural practices and progressed into the future with EGI Technology.
Growers have been using conventional planting containers for hundreds of years all over the world, without knowing such containers would negatively affect plant production and quality.
Because containers in which plants are grown confine plant root systems in limited spaces, the biophysical interactions of roots and containers are critically important. We believe that with EGI Technology in horticultural practices can bring revolutionary impacts on green industry markets worldwide by producing not only trees, but plants as well, with superior growth in the shortest period of time.
Effective air-pruning by EGI suspends root growth at the end of the expondential growth. When we suspend growth at the end of these expondential spurts we effectively eliminate the slower growth period, resulting in more efficient root growth. The combination of more efficient growth with more rapid branching by air-pruning means the plant receives nutrition more efficiently producing a greater root mass in less growing time. Since shoot-to-root ratios are constant, larger root masses equal larger plants, resulting in significantly increased yields and quality for every crop.
In the Spring of 2007 Earthgen Tree Nursery took this EGI Technology and combined it with a Natural Growing Process, producing an eco-friendly tree, now known as our EGI Tree. A faster growing tree with a extensive fibrous root system having outstanding survivability.
