I am (crossed fingers) going to get a fruit cage going this autumn/winter and I remember seeing a program where after soking the bare roots they put a powder on the roots and groung at planting. ould anyone shed light on what it might be?

I used Rootgrow two years ago when planting a long rose hedge (Rosa rugosa), FW33, and I must admit, the plants took exceedingly well and have already made a lovely dense, low hedge. Obviously, I don't know whether they would also have done this without Rootgrow, but I was impressed!
