IMO you odn't want to grow trees in aero units.

you would use DWC, or drip, as commercial growers do.
MY bad.. ZANDOR's system is drip..a dam,n good drip.. IT looks so aeroponic!!!!!!! LOL


As far as trees go in aeroponic systems I agree with latewood..

For two main reasons.. (which can be overcome.. and I have actually seen some great trees in aeropnic systems)

1. plants that start to produce more than 3 ounce.. lets say 10 ounces or even 2 lbs need a tremendous amount of support... and most aeropnic systems do not offer JACK SHIT for plant supprt... plants will fall over and even worse, fall into the reservoir..

2. When growing BIG plants, the roots have a tendency to grow into reservoirs... roots sitting in water,,, even running water, adds a whole list of potential problems.. ROOT ROT may be the only thing worse than mites... yikes..
