Bare Root Trees

Why Bare Root Trees and Shrubs Are Ideal for Autumn Planting

Autumn is an ideal time to transform your garden, and one of the most cost-effective and successful ways to do so is by planting bare root trees and shrubs. At R J White Arboreal, we provide expert planting consultations to help you make the best choices for your landscape. Bare root plants, which are sold without soil or pots, offer numerous benefits for anyone looking to create a healthy, vibrant garden.

The Advantages of Bare Root Plants When planning your autumn garden or landscaping project, bare root trees and shrubs are an excellent option. Here’s why: 

1. Cost-Effective: Bare root plants are often more affordable than their potted counterparts, making them a great choice for larger projects like hedge planting or establishing new trees.
2. Healthier Root Systems: Bare root plants develop strong, natural root systems because their roots aren’t restricted by containers. This leads to healthier, faster-growing plants.
3. Sustainable: With no plastic pots and minimal packaging, bare root plants are a more environmentally friendly option for your garden.
4. Easier to Plant: Without the weight and bulk of a container, bare root plants are easier to transport and plant—especially when you’re adding larger numbers to your garden.

 What Bare Root Plants Should You Choose? When planning your garden or landscaping project, consider the following bare root trees and shrubs, ideal for autumn planting: 

• Bare Root Trees: Deciduous trees like oaks, maples, and fruit trees such as apple or pear establish themselves well in autumn.
• Bare Root Shrubs: Shrubs like hawthorn, roses, and viburnum are perfect for hedging or adding structure to your garden.
• Bare Root Hedging: For natural privacy, bare root hedging plants such as privet, beech, and hornbeam are popular choices that thrive when planted in autumn.

How to Plant Bare Root Trees and Shrubs Bare root planting requires careful preparation to ensure long-term success. At R J White Arboreal, we offer gardening and landscaping consultations to help you through the process, but here are some basic steps: 

1. Prepare the Planting Site: Dig a hole wide enough to allow the roots to spread naturally and prepare the soil for good drainage.
2. Position the Plant: Place the tree or shrub at the right depth—ensuring the roots are well-covered but not buried too deeply.
3. Water and Mulch: After planting, water the plant well and apply mulch to retain moisture and protect the roots as they establish themselves.
4. Aftercare: It’s important to continue watering and monitoring your plants throughout the winter months to ensure they get off to a strong start.
