Planting: Container-Grown Versus Bare-Root Plants
Nearly all trees and shrubs come from the nursery as container-grown. Some varieties are available for a brief period in the winter as bare-root. Container-Grown Plants are moved to larger containers at the nursery as they grow, until they are ready for sale. Container sizes from 1 to 15 gallons are economical and the most commonly available, with 24-inch boxes seen occasionally. Bare Root Plants (often roses) are dormant and should be planted as soon as possible. Soak the roots before planting. If you can't plant immediately, keep the roots wrapped in moist newspaper or peat moss. |
