Stop Guessing. Start Growing the Right Way—with Jim.

If your trees aren’t developing the way they should…
If your root systems aren’t strong, structured, and truly root-ready…
If your team is putting in the work but results still fall short…

It’s not about trying another technique.
It’s about getting the foundation right—from the roots up.

UFN founder Jim Barborinas brings decades of real-world experience helping growers develop healthier, more resilient root systems that drive long-term tree performance. He works directly with you and your team to identify what’s limiting root development, correct it, and implement a proven approach that delivers consistent, high-quality results.

This is where better trees begin—below the surface.

Whether you’re dealing with poor root structure, inconsistent outcomes, or a crew that needs clearer direction, Jim helps you build a system that produces strong, dependable trees every time.

This isn’t theory.
This is hands-on, practical expertise applied to your operation.

  • Develop stronger, more functional root systems
  • Improve overall tree quality from the ground up
  • Align your team around proven growing practices
  • Eliminate wasted time, guesswork, and costly setbacks
  • Build a repeatable system that works—without constant oversight

Bring Jim in—and grow it right from the roots.
