There was a row of 8 and most had roots that supported them but there were 2 that needed some additional help. I've found that the type of support your new plants require depends a lot on how well the roots support the plant while still in the pot.

Whether they would provide enough support and protection whilst the trees/shrubs were young and what sort of diameter is the best, 500mm, 600mm, etc. I'm talking about the open steel type.
