2020 Bare Root Tree Availability

Benefits of Bare Root Trees

  • Better Performers: Bare-root trees take off quicker than potted trees because roots don’t have to transition from container soil to local soil.
  • Price: Bare-root trees cost 30-50% less than a container-grown tree of the same size because you’re skipping the labor required for potting and maintenance.
  • Easier Handling: Bare-root trees are lightweight and easy to move around.
  • Variety: The Growing Place offers a selection of bare-root trees every year in the spring.
  • Easier Planting: Because they are lightweight they are easier to plant. Soil amendments are unnecessary because the roots will be growing out into the surrounding soil.
