add new varieties and production practices that will help you be more successful with your 

plantings. 

Customers are continuing to demand a wider variety of plants. This year we have added 

over twenty new varieties to our Grow Ready Liner, GRL program. Grow Ready Liners 

are grown in root pruning containers and shipped in a biodegradable and plantable net. The 

plants can be stacked with your bare root material to save on shipping. You can now have 

excellent results with varieties that use to be hard to transplant and difficult to find. Growing 

this wider range of plant material will give you an advantage over your competition. 

We have an excellent team of employees and salespeople to serve you. Our two sons Chris 

and Josh continue to grow in their nursery responsibilities shaping us for the next 

generation. Our production staff has recently gone through Lean Management training 

which is helping us reduce our cost while increasing the consistency of our products. Check

Care of Bareroot Trees 

Sweating is a process used to force bud break and activate growth in dormant nursery stock. The 

goal is to re-hydrate plants by increasing temperature and humidity surrounding the dormant 

tree. A temperature of 50 to 60 degrees F is optimum. We suggest sweating the following genera: 

, , , , and . Some suggest that 

this process also be used on , , , , 

, , and If you have had trouble with any of these trees in the 

past, this simple step may save you headaches. 

The process is fairly easy. It is best done out of direct sunlight so that excessive temperatures do 

not build up. Place a layer of moistened burlap, straw, or sawdust on the ground. Soak the tree 

roots in water. Shake off excess moisture and lay the trees down on the moist media. You may 

wish to spray the trees with a mold inhibiting fungicide to be on the safe side. Cover the trees 

with another layer of moist media. Finally, cover everything with a tarp or piece of plastic and 

seal the edges. Check the trees daily for swelling buds. You should see results in 3 – 4 days. 

Sweating should not be done until you can plant the tree out, and the threat of cold temperatures 

has passed. Tender young tissues will be damaged in sudden cold weather. 

The roots are the main storehouse of energy during the dormant season. Most of the energy used 

by the tree in the first six weeks of new growth in the spring comes from this stored energy. We 

suggest that in preparing your bare root tree for planting, you remove as little root as possible. 

Prune any broken roots back to solid wood, and make a fresh tip cut at the end of large roots. 

The more energy the tree has available, the sooner it will reestablish itself, and the faster it will 

grow to a saleable size. 

Traditionally, the canopy of bare root trees was pruned to adjust the “root to shoot ratio”. Several 

years ago, researchers suggested that when buds swell, break, and begin to grow, they are 

producing auxins which are translocated to roots and promote new growth. They suggested that 

a bare root tree will reestablish itself more rapidly if left un-pruned the first growing season. It is 

our experience that this is true for shade trees. We have noticed, however that , and 

respond more vigorously when pruned. We suggest removing up to half the canopy of 

these flowering trees at planting time. 

Planting depth is a hot topic among arborists these days, mainly because so many trees fail 

because of being planted too deep. For optimal growth and successful development of your tree, 

planting depth is critical. When the tree is planted and settled in, the main anchoring roots 

should be only 2 or 3 inches below the soil level. While it is better to plant your tree a little too 

high than too low, roots exposed to the sun will sunscald.
