Planting and growing tips


Bareroot Trees:

One reason to buy bareroot trees from us is that We do not store them in
freezers, barns or sheds out of dirt, like every other company that sells them do.  We dig them when they are dormant and replant them in pots.  We raise them outside and if the pots freeze we bring them in for 24 hour and thaw them.  Than we take them out of the pot and ship them the next day.  The reason is because dormant plants do still drink in the winter time.  Not a lot but they do, when it thaws or warms up enough for the water to soak the ground their major roots drink.

Another thing to know is that when a tree goes dormant they loose their little white roots because they feed the leaves.  They don't need them in the winter so that part of the roots do die back.

Any month with the letter r in it is the best time to plant bareroot trees, all other months are really to hot for them unless you water them at least 2 times a week for a month.

With bulbs if your zone is higher than it states like tulips you can still grow them, you dig them when its to hot and put them in the ref. or about 2 months and than tranplant them outside and they will bloom for you. 

Lily bulbs you put a little dirt around them and put them the ref. for about 45 days and plant them out side and in 2-3 months depending on the bulb they will bloom for you so you can buy them.
