ABSTRACT:
The art of vertical horticulture is improved when plants growing outward from the sides of tall vertical columns are provided with a system that enhances root growth by causing some of the early formed branches to be converted to roots and then by having these newly formed roots grow in a nutrient aerosol environment which applies both liquid chemical nourishment as well as ample aeration to these roots, the required conversion of some branches into the plant's principal root system being accomplished by a vertical shield positioned around early formed branches both to prevent light from reaching the branches after a period of initial branch growth as well as to contain the moisture of the nutrient spray. Outer segments of the branches extend through perforations in the shield and thereby grow into the plant's system of branches and leaves.
