Bare Root Seedling Tree & Shrub Planting Instructions

All Bare roots Plants need to be planted immediately upon receiving shipment. They are dug fresh just before shipment and as you will see when you receive, they are shipped in a moist spagnum moss/peat mix. They will need your immediate attention.

Think of the tree or shrub you just purchased as a lifelong investment. How well your plant grows depends on the type of plant, location of planting, care in planting and follow-up care you provide.

Dig a Broad Hole 2-3 times the diameter of the root system, but 2-3″ shallower than the root.

Prevent the tree from settling deeper in the hole by making sure the bottom of the hole is firm. Do not put loose soil beneath the root. Most of the roots grow in the top 12 inches of the soil.

Place the plant on undisbursed solid ground in the center of the hole straightening it and making sure it is 2-3″ above the soil line.

Mix 1/3 Potting Mix to 2/3 existing soil. Back fill half the soil then gently pack the soil around to release any air pockets then finish backfilling firming it again.

Spread 2-3″ Mulch around the base of the plant if preferred and stake only if necessary. The less staking the better for the trees and shrubs. They establish quicker if not staked.
