Out in the field, a worker is prepping chive rootstock for transplanting. Wearing disposable gloves, she trims the long green tops down to stubs, leaving only a healthy root base and a few centimetres of stem. This standard step reduces water loss and keeps the plant focused on root establishment once replanted. No waste—just quicker recovery and stronger regrowth later.
