How do I plant a bare root tree?

Bareroot Trees?
To plant any bare root: Place your bare root plant in a bucket of water while you do the following. Dig a hole that is twice as wide and twice as deep as the plant you are planting. Amend the hole with compost and fertilizer. Make a mound in your hole. Arrange the roots of your plant over the mound so that they aim straight down. Fill in the hole with compost and soil. Water deeply!!





Now about wisteria!! Before you plant wisteria, be sure that you have a VERY STURDY structure that you are going to train your wisteria over. Wisteria is a VERY vigorous grower and gets very heavy. It needs to be trimmed back every summer. I have 4 plants growing over a very strong structure and they are very lovely every spring. They also provide lots of shade during the summer. BUT you need to stay on top of them or they WILL take over!!





Good Luck!!
Reply:I bought a dormant bareroot Wisteria cutting - 2 in fact, and just placed them in pots with Miracle Grow soil and last week they began sprouting new leaves. It took about two months though before they sprouted.
