What is a Bare Root Plant?

 

A bare root is a dormant plant sold without soil around its roots. Buying bare roots for flowers, trees and vegetables is often more cost-effective than buying potted plants, and they are easy to handle and plant. Once in the ground, the roots establish quickly and grow naturally, often resulting in healthier, stronger plants.

No compost, no pots and less labour required means we can bring you high quality products at the best price.

Autumn is nature's perfect time for planting, giving roots several months to establish for healthier and stronger plants.

All of our bare roots are supplied in bags or boxes, no plastic pots!

Bare root plants are suppllied in autumn and winter when they are in a dormant state. This means less disruption to them when planting.

Bare roots planted in cooler months will have had time to concentrate their energy into forming a good root structure. Come spring and summer, these plants will have greater vigour, stronger flower or fruit production along with high yields.
