Bare Root Plants - Field GrownBare root hegding can be obtained from November to March and is the cheapest way of buying this type of plant. Do not order too far in advance of planting as the roots must be kept moist at all times; plant as soon as possible making sure all roots are burled and plant is firmly upright. It's always best to trim back 20-30% off the top growth to help establishment with sharp secateurs. Keep moist in the first growing season. |
Rootballed Plants - Field GrownPlants lifted out of the field during the dormant season (November-March). The roots are cut out with a ball of soil which is kept intact using hessian or sometimes a wire cage. This method keeps roots in contact with the soil and minimizes disturbance. Often they are then containerised. |
Container/Pot Grown PlantsPot grown plants can be transplanted at any time of the year as they have a good active root mass which has been developing for at least one or more growing season in that pot. |
