The side wall of the container includes at least one upwardly facing internal ledge positioned substantially horizontally therein and a plurality of spaced openings are disposed on the side wall and extend through the ledge. A portion of the roots growing laterally within the container are trapped by the ledge, are guided through the openings and are air-pruned as a result thereof.
