  • What are bare root trees?

    Bare root trees are supplied without a pot or compost, with their roots exposed and protected for transport. They are lifted and sold while dormant, making them an economical and effective way to plant trees.

  • Can bare root trees be planted in pots or planters?

    Yes, bare root trees can be planted in pots or planters, provided the container is large and deep with good drainage. Use a loam-based compost, water regularly, and note that container-grown trees may need more frequent feeding and watering than those planted in the ground.

  • Are bare root trees suitable for small gardens?

    Yes. Many bare root trees are available in manageable sizes, including dwarf and patio varieties, making them suitable for smaller gardens as well as larger spaces.

  • Do I need to soak bare root trees before planting?

    Soaking the roots in water for 30–60 minutes before planting helps rehydrate them and encourages healthy establishment.

  • How should I store bare root trees before planting?

    Plant them as soon as possible after delivery. If you need to wait a short time, keep the roots cool, shaded and damp. For longer delays, temporarily “heel in” the roots with soil.

  • Do bare root trees establish well?

    Yes. Because they are planted while dormant, bare root trees often establish quickly once growth begins in spring, allowing roots to settle before leaf and shoot growth starts.

  • When is the best time to plant bare root trees?

    Bare root trees are planted during the dormant season, usually from late autumn through winter and into early spring, as long as the ground is not frozen or waterlogged.
