This video is about choosing bare root trees. Photography is by the lovely Betsy Timm. For more about fruit and ornamental tree roots, see my book Understanding Roots: www.robertkouri....
Nurseries that still have true "bare root" fruit trees in mulch are becoming harder to find. So many fruit trees available in Jan-Feb are either already in pots or sealed in plastic. Still, you can check for a healthy bud union.
Thank you so much for recording and posting this.
Great info, thanks Robert!
Thanks, Robert. This is fantastic. I wish I had been more aware when I was buying bare root trees.
Good information! Thanks.
Very nice information
