Air pruning pots and Palms? (non-fabric)

[Zeni]

I was thinking of putting a small Butia Odorata in there (25L / 6.6G), palm is a few years old and already has many pinnate fronds).

Do they work on palms? During the winter it will be put in a greenhouse, rest of the year just outside.

I hear the crop and tree growers swear by them, but on this forum I couldn't find much info besides hearing that the fabric airpruning pots are terrible due to the roots attaching themselves to the fabric, but what about these weird plastic ones?

I have two Butia's of roughly similar size and will be experimenting to see if an air pot makes them grow faster. One will be placed in an airpot and the other in a terracotta pot. However, the one I am going to place in a terracotta pot is a few years older, (max 3 years older) nevertheless if the air pot one manages to catch up to this one in a few years then I can say this tech works on palms. Growing conditions for both will be similar.

Nobody here ever tried these kind of pots?
