 What are Bare Root trees?

Every year deciduous trees drop their leaves in autumn and begin their annual dormancy over winter. During this time we harvest the trees in our nursery using a specially designed plough that cuts the roots and removes the soil. We then process the trees and get them ready for their new owners to plant in their garden!

Are Bare Root trees easy to grow?

Yes, Bare Root trees are very easy to grow. Because they have been reared in the ground (as opposed to pots) they have very healthy root systems and branch structures which allows them to transplant exceptionally well.
