Bare root trees
and vines are field grown, then dug during the winter when they are dormant.
They are stored and shipped with all the soil removed from the roots--bare root.
Bare root trees
and vines are usually less expensive than those sold in containers. Young trees
and vines without soil weigh less and are easy to move. Planting a bare root
tree requires less work on your part--heavy lifting is not required.
Bare root trees
and vines must be planted soon after they leave their growing fields. With no
soil around the roots, bare root plants can dry out and die if left exposed to
the air for very long.
Bare roots should
be planted when the soil in their new home is moist and when the plant is not
actively growing--by mid-spring before bud break, or mid-fall after leaf fall.
Planting bare roots when they are dormant will allow them to get established
and grow new roots before leaves begin to grow and before summer sun and drying
winds arrive.
