What is "Bareroot"? Trees, shrubs and small fruits are normally dug from the growing fields in the fall. The dirt is removed from the roots an then the plants are placed into a controlled environment of cool temperatures and high humidity. In the spring these plants are taken out of cold storage in their dormant (leafless) state. They arrive at the nursery with "no pot" and "no dirt". That's "Bareroot"!
What are the benefits of planting "bareroot"?
Economical - because they have no pot or no dirt, we can sell them to you at a reduced price.
Earth-friendly - because there is no pot, there is no plastic to dispose of!
Easy to carry and easy to plant, with no heavy pot filled with soil for you to carry.
They can be planted as soon as the ground thaws because of their dormant state. Get a head-start on spring!
