Container-Grown Trees
Bareroot trees are similar to Balled & Burlapped trees, except they are transported from the nursery without any soil – therefore it’s critical that the roots are kept moist until the tree is planted. For tree seedlings, remove any packing material and soak the roots in water before planting.
Tools: Shovel/spade, gloves
- Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the root system and follow the steps above to plant.
- Make sure to fill all crevices when backfilling to avoid air pockets that will dry out the roots.
