What is a Bare Root Fruit Tree?
A Bare root fruit tree is a 2-3 year old fruit tree which has gone dormant for the winter. It is delivered to you without soil. The best time to plant bare root fruit trees is the end of the winter season. This gives your tree time to acclimate to it's environment before the warmth of spring comes.
