Bareroot Plants compared to Potted plants.

Bare-root Plants are only delivered in the winter season, from November to April. Pot grown plants can be delivered all year round

Advantages of Bare-root plants:

• You pay less for the same size plants.
• You can carry and plant them more easily.
• You only plant them in winter, so they need less maintenance after planting. The ground is naturally wet for their first few months.
• You get the biggest selection: Many trees are not sold pot-grown.
• They are "asleep" in winter - this is the best time to transplant any tree.
• They use fewer fertilisers & fungicides, less water and less packaging and fuel in their production & delivery. 
  
  Advantages of Pot Grown plants:
• Pot grown plants can be delivered & planted all year round.
• Plants with tender roots & larger specimens must be delivered in pots.
• Plants in pots can be kept for longer if there is a delay in planting. 
  
  

  Our Advice to You: 
  If it is summer and you can't wait to get planting, order Pot grown plants now. 
  Otherwise order bare-root plants for delivery in the winter months. 
  In both cases it is usually a good idea to order early.
