Bare root season is upon us.
What is bare root?
It is the time of dormancy for deciduous trees/shrubs/vines , this allows them to be shipped, and gives you a head start when planting. Due to dormancy the tress with not experience transplant shock. Also bare root trees generally coat a fraction of their potted counterparts. They will ship when ready to be planted in your region. In our case March.
Although bare root trees can be shipped anywhere in the country, they tend to do better if shipped from a similar climate. Knowing this last year I still ordered some rare varieties from a trusted PNW nursery with negative results. However I have also ordered trees/berries and muscadines from Willis Orchards out of GA with great success (except for raspberries) https://www.willisorchards.com/
They specialize in varieties suited to the American South. I highly recommend their southern blueberry collection. Great price. They sent me good plants that are now bearing well. They also stock American natives like Chickasaw Plum (sand plum), American Plum and Pawpaws. If you can get a green gage plum, old French variety and perhaps the best plum on the planet.
