Bare root, what does that mean?
Bare-root means that a tree or shrub is delivered without a pot and without soil around the roots. The advantage is that bare-root plants are less expensive than potted plants. However, the planting period is limited to the winter months. Before planting, it's recommended to soak the roots in water for a few hours and then immediately place the plant firmly in the soil. Bare-root plants are always sold without leaves because otherwise the bare roots will dry out. It's best to transplant the plant to the garden as soon as possible, but temporarily repotting it in a pot is also possible.

Tips and care:

• Planting: November to March
  
• Open ground or pots: you can also grow all fruit trees in pots. The larger the pot, the better they will thrive. They will always grow better and produce more fruit in the open ground.
• Support: Provide support with a stake during the first year. Low-stemmed trees are easy to harvest and remain compact and manageable.
