Trees serve a variety of purposes and are planted for a variety of reasons. Whether planting a buffer, shade trees, wildlife habitat, or reforesting your property, proper planting is the first step in ensuring successful establishment of your trees.
Bareroot seedlings are an inexpensive way to plant large areas, at a low cost. You may expect up to 25% mortality of your planting. Proper site preparation, using tree mats, and using tree tubes are ways to increase survivability of these small trees.
