We have just passed the shortest day of the year so we're slap bang in the middle of winter and that means it's the best time to be looking out for bare-rooted trees. The reason why winter is the best time for deciduous bare-rooted trees to be uprooted,[url=http://www.michael-good.ca]michael kors canada[/url], moved around the country and planted in your garden is that they're dormant and not growing. Like a bear that hibernates and survives winter, when trees are dormant they're not reliant on moisture or food from the soil to sustain them. It's this dormancy that means trees can be removed from the ground with the roots exposed and sold to you. Planted in the space of weeks, your new tree will be perfectly healthy. Come spring your purchase will burst to life again and will start by growing the fine,[url=http://www.michael-good.ca]Michael Kors Outlet[/url], white, fibrous roots that will find the water and food your tree needs to put new growth on up top. When it comes to planting, you should have a good look at the root system and remove any broken or damaged roots. However, it's pruning the tree itself that will set you up for success. The tree needs to be pruned because when it's removed from the ground in the nursery, it loses most of its feeding roots and up to 50 per cent of its total root system. To bring the tree back into balance you should prune off about a third. If you are a nervous pruner, I have some great advice for you. You can't really get it wrong. Don't overthink it. You can follow all types of rules but the truth is any pruning is better than none at all. Advertisement The next thing is to water it in and keep it moist. A good rule of thumb is a bucket of water a week until you see the first leaves. Any more water than this in winter and you may encourage rot and diseases to attack the root system. Any less and it might dry out. We tend to think trees need water when it starts to heat up but by summer the tree has almost stopped growing. The time to affect the growth and health of the tree through water is right through spring while the tree is busy growing. One of my favourite flowering trees is Prunus snow fountain and now there's a pink version. It's an ornamental cherry with a weeping form, and a mass of flowers in spring covering all its limbs in stunning pink blossoms. They have straight trunks and are grafted at 1.8-metres high so it's a great way to bring height into a new garden. It makes a beautiful feature plant or point of interest in a garden bed. Bare-rooted trees are available from all good nurseries and Bunnings from $50.
