This study was carried out to develop the technique for the production of high quality container seedlings of Comus controversa Hemsley. The seedlings were grown on the medium of peatmoss : perlite : vermiculite (1:1:1, v/v) in plastic net container and no-net plastic container as control for five months in the PE house. The seedlings grown in the plastic net container showed better root collar diameter growth, better development of long and fine roots, more increment of dry mass of roots and shoots than those grown in the no-net container. But the height growth of the seedlings in both container was similar. In particular the seedlings grown in plastic net container had no spiraling roots which were always observed in the control container seedlings. This result was induced by air-root pruning effect from the plastic net container.
