For successful harvests, choose bare root trees suited to your USDA zone and local chill hour requirements. Use our growing zone lookup tool to determine what varieties will thrive in your area, and read our guide on Chill Hours: What Are They & Why They Matter to ensure proper fruiting.
Choosing Compatible Pollinators
Some bare root fruit trees require cross-pollination for optimal fruit set. We recommend selecting varieties that bloom at the same time and planting them within 50 feet of each other. To learn more, see our guide on Best Pollination for Your Fruit Trees.
How to Plant Bare Root Trees
Planting bare root trees is simple with the right steps:
Timing: Plant during dormancy—typically late winter or early spring.
Site Prep: Choose a full-sun spot with well-drained soil.
Soak & Plant: Hydrate the roots, then plant with the graft union just above soil level.
Backfill & Water: Fill the hole gently and water deeply to settle soil.
Mulch: Apply 2–4" of organic mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. See our Mulching Tips for best practices.
Tree Care Tips for Success
Pruning: Prune immediately after planting to develop strong structure. Watch our Pruning 101 Video for beginner-friendly guidance.
Watering: Deep, consistent watering is essential, especially in the first few years.
Fertilizing: Apply organic fertilizers based on soil test results.
Protection: Use fencing or tree shelters to protect bare root saplings from deer and rodents.
Winter Prep: Apply mulch and use wraps if needed in cold zones.
