No question is a daft question, so I thought for our first post of 2025 it makes sense to go right back to basics!

First and foremost bare-root trees are cheaper than their potted counterparts. The savings are significant and often between 30-50% 

Cost is important of course, but of even greater importance is that bare-root trees are better performers. The roots do not have to transition from container soil to local soil and as a result they take off and produce new growth quicker than their potted relations. If handled correctly bare-root are known to be more successful in the longer term.

In fairness there are a couple of points to consider when choosing bare-root. The tree's should be planted quickly and they can only be planted during the 'dormant months'. The term 'dormant months' refers to November - April and effectively means the period when the tree is not in bud/leaf.

To summarise, it might be baltic cold outside, dark and all round January-ish but NOW is the time to start making plans for your garden!! We have trees of every size available and a few months from now you could be popping your deckchair in the shade of one.
