Richard starts with ... I have 2 bare rooted apple trees but I haven't prepared the sites yet for planting. What is the best way of dealing with the trees while the site is prepared. It will probably be at least 2 weeks before they are ready to go in. Should I bury them in the ground and cover loosely with soil? | About the Author Richard14 Sydney 20th June 2011 2:37pm #UserID: 5449 Posts: 5 View All Richard14's Edible Fruit Trees |
Nick says... Hey Richard, the process you've described is called "heeling in" and I reckon it works quite well. I'm not sure on the exact details but here's a website that describes it pretty well: http://www.arborday.org/trees/membershiptrees/heeling.cfm. Good luck with the trees :) | About the Author Nick T Altona, VIC 20th June 2011 4:58pm #UserID: 2663 Posts: 727 View All Nick T's Edible Fruit Trees |
