Bare Root Trees
Bare Root Season Starts November 2023
Tree stocks available as Bare Root trees, these are trees that have been grown naturally in the open grown in fields. Once winter sets in, the plants, usually deciduous, enter a dormant or inactive phase, only to remerge as actively growing plants again in the spring.
It is while they are in this dormant phase that bare root trees are carefully lifted from the ground and the soil washed clean from the roots. As the trees are dormant, lifting them in this way causes the least stress to the plant.
Preparing your Bare Root trees for planting, soak the root base in a bucket of water for 30 minutes. Then just plant in the ground as normal. Make sure to plant your bare root trees before the growing season begins again.
