Going bare?

Don't worry we're not naked - we're talking bare-rooted plants! This doesn't mean the plant is rootless but simply supplied to you without a pot or soil around its roots. Why? Well, trees and shrubs that you buy in a container are likely to have grown up in a field somewhere. Around November when the trees are dormant (not growing or producing fruit but effectively hibernating) they are dug up for selling - this is when you can buy them bare-rooted before they are potted. The benefits of buying plants at the bare-root stage is 1) they are cheaper as the grower doesn't have to supply soil or a pot and 2) they are lighter for you to carry for the same reason (no soil or pot)
