When is the best time to plant bare root whips?

Bare root whips are young trees that are sold without soil around their roots. They are typically available in the mid-late winter through to early spring, and should be planted as soon as possible after delivery.

The best time to plant bare root whips depends on the local climate and the specific type of tree you are planting. In general, it is best to plant bare root whips in the early spring, as soon as the ground is no longer frozen and can be worked. In climates with mild winters, bare root whips can be planted a bit later, closer to the time of the last frost.

To plant bare root whips, dig a hole that is large enough to accommodate the root system. Place the tree in the hole and spread the roots out evenly. Fill the hole with soil, taking care to remove any air pockets, and water the tree well. It is important to keep the soil moist and to protect the tree from extreme temperatures and drying winds until it becomes established.
