Bare-Root Season is Here

Plant fruit and nut trees and even grapes and berries in the right place. All do best in full sun for maximum production. Plant in fertile, well-draining soil. If you have a lot of heavy clay, which everyone around here does, amend your soil first before planting. Mix in organic compost, peat moss, soil conditioners, etc.

Don't make the beginning gardener&'s biggest mistake and plant trees too close together. If you live in a wind tunnel, properly stake newly planted trees to prevent them from snapping in the first big storm. Water and fertilize goes without saying. However, you'll also need to prune, thin and spray to get best results.
