Technical details. Bare root plants have been freshly lifted from the ground and wrapped and sold without the roots being contained. Rootballed plants have been lifted by machine and a ball of root and soil has been contained in hessian. They can be planted as they are or the hessian can be loosened a little. Wire rootballed plants are similar but this method is generally used for larger plants. In general bare root plants can be planted from November to April (when deciduous trees have lost most of their leaves) and rootballed plants for about one extra month. Plants in containers or pots should generally have been within the containers long enough for the roots to have developed to touch the inside of the pots but without becoming rootbound. They are suitable for planting at any time of year when the ground is not frozen hard or waterlogged. All plants will need to be looked after carefully during their first year when drought can easily kill them.
