Start them in a plastic cell, and roots reach the wall, turn, and begin to circle. That spiral never fully unwinds, and plants raised that way often establish slowly and anchor poorly. The Jiffy-7 Forestry pellet was designed to prevent it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach pellet starts as a flat, compressed disc of peat. Add water and it swells into a tall, sturdy pellet around \u003cstrong\u003e50mm wide and 95mm tall\u003c\/strong\u003e, with plenty of depth for a long root to develop. Its wall is an \u003cstrong\u003eopen net\u003c\/strong\u003e, not plastic. When a root grows through it and meets the air, the tip is naturally \u003cstrong\u003eair-pruned\u003c\/strong\u003e, so the plant branches out new roots instead of circling.
