Handling and Storing Bare-Root Trees
Handle your tree with care. Each leaf is a source of energy. Each flower may become a fruit. Each twig may grow to be a large branch. the bark is like skin. If we break it, vital juices bleed, and disease-causing organisms can enter. Be gentle with your tree.
You are receiving your tree after it has ended its dormancyDomancy
A period of time when an organism suspends some biological functions and does not grow. Trees are dormant throughout the winter.; it's now actively growing. You can help it overcome the shock of being dug up and transported. Plant it today, or tomorrow at the latest! If you wait until tomorrow, store your tree in a cool, shady place. Keep roots moist by spraying them with a hose, pulling a plastic bag over them, and tying the bag closed around the trunk.
