Sure. Basically you use flattened chopsticks (skinny) to pass over the roots as you place the trees. You secure the chopsticks on the sides of the pot, where the wire wont hit the roots. So essentially, the sticks are criss-crossed over the roots, and hold the trees in position under the soil level. The reason I am attracted is the sticks will hold water, and in my warmer climate, thats a boost for the roots. Just another method of the same thing you're doing, only under the soil.
