I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately on planting bare root fruit trees. We have a lot of them in stock at the shop right now and I’m helping lots of people plant their food forests and orchards.
We’ve planted a lot of bare root fruit trees over the years, including almost our entire apple orchard and a chunk of our Grocery Row Gardens and food forest.
This plum came from a tree we bought at Atmore Farm & Garden before we ended up buying the entire store.
Since I’ve been getting a lot of questions, Rachel and I filmed a video today explaining the “how and why” of planting bare root fruit trees:
It’s a great way to establish an orchard or food forest. If you’re local, stop on by the shop and pick some up. It’s really hard to beat the price, plus I’ll help you pick out the best trees for your homestead.
And if you’re not local, definitely hunt down some bare root trees. They transplant wonderfully and give you a head start on spring.
