Tennessee Wholesale Nursery presents: How to Plant Bare Root Trees. Bare root trees need to have their roots soaked in water for at least 2 hours before planting. First, dig a hole twice the size of the plant's root ball or root area. Make sure you aren't forcing the roots into a hole that's too small, as this will stunt growth. After this, place soil firmly around the roots. Immediately water the tree and keep it regularly watered for the next few weeks so that the roots can get established. After that, nature will do the rest. You can find bare root trees and much more on our website at TNNursery.net.
