Bare-root trees are much less expensive than pot-grown plants and are available between autumn and spring, while the plants are dormant. Handily, this is also the perfect time to plant a fruit tree!
Trees planted during this rest period have time to settle into their new growing conditions before they burst into vigorous growth in spring.
In this short video we’ll demonstrate how to plant a bare-root fruit tree so you can get it off to the very best start in your garden.

Great video, thanks. Just planted a pear and apple tree ☺️
Apologies for the silly question, but how does remove all the blossom? What’s the best way to do so? Thanks
Great video. I have 4 varieties of apple bare root trees to plant. How far apart for pollination, they will join an established James Greave apple and a crab apple?
Hi, I'm in Texas! I got a tree from home depot online a bare root multiple apple, it's not dead but having issues not putting out leaves, some little buds. It's in a self watering container and I spilled out the water from the reservoir because it stunk. Should I make sure it's emptying?
a few weeks ago I planted a four different pear / pear tree. It's about 7" tall. Do I need to plant a second pear tree?
Great video, thank you. I have ordered an Apple tree for my garden and these tips are great to help me prepare for its arrival!
What temperature should the water be when one is soaking the bare-root plant's roots prior to planting?
Great helpful video. I’m soon to tackle digging up, barerooting, and moving from the front yard to the backyard, a silverbirch tree that has struggled in in its solo place out the front. We hope it will be happy like it’s siblings out in the back. Wish us luck!
Fantastic video-thank you! Planting a bare root cherry tomorrow- now I have a clear guide as to how to do so
Dec 21. I’ve had two bare root trees on order from a proper tree nursery. They’ve phoned me up twice deferring my collection date because the trees aren’t dormant yet, it’s been such a mild autumn. They’ve got to wait for all the leaves to fall before they will dig them up.
Haha this is so weird. I JUST bought a cherry tree the other day and found this video while looking up how best to plant it. Funny that he is doing exactly what I need to do.
Great video just planting a cherry apple and plum thanks for the advice.
I'm planting a new semi-dwarf Granny Smith. Thanks for the help.
Am I able to prune when the blossoms form, it wont shock the tree will it ? Thanks in advance
Just received 6 bare root dormat apricot trees. Thank you are the update on bare root planting.
All good. I expect you want to use the stake again . Otherwise perhaps remove the part of the stake an inch or so above the tie?. Nice to see a well prepared grass free planting area.
I've planted 3 pecans, some paw paws, raspberry, blueberry, apple, peach, plum and mulberry. I love fruit!
Thanks Ben, another great video. I planted my bare rooted Apple & Pear trees a month or so ago (they look happy enough). I've removed the blossom like you said. Do you think they are too young to prune (just a little) – the main branch on the pear is quite long. Thanks again, Carol
Where to plant cherry tree in the garden can they grow well in partial shades ,still they make enough fruits
Thank you for your very clear and comprehensive teaching. I was glad to discover that I knew more than I had thought but it's very encouraging to have confirmation as this is my first planting of bare rooted trees. I didn't know whether I should plant now (July in Tasmania) because people say don't water in winter and obviously you have to water in when you plant, so that's one question answered. I also didn't know about the figure of 8 tie. I'll do that; it looks beautiful and strong.
what about protecting them from beavers?
Thanks
Received some bare root trees today, but it's going to be frosty for the next week or two, what shall I do, pot them,??
Thank you for a very informative video. my question is did you have to prune the tips when a bare root tree is planted.
Just about to plant six trees when the ground has thawed a little, Cherry, Pear, Plum and three varieties of Apple. Wouldn't have known anything about how or where without watching this video, and the blossom removal in the first year advice was invaluable. THANK YOU!
Bought 2 bare root trees yesterday. Absolutely love your videos, giving me the gardening bug!
