Received a delivery of bare root fruit trees. Probably going to be a week before I can plant them due to low temperatures.
As a suggestion :For a $5.oo tree, plant a $10.oo hole with nutrients.
Not just a hole, but enrichen the soil, and make a pyramid of soil in the hole to spread out the roots of the fruit tree.
The soil pyramid will help spread out the roots, and assist in forming rootlets which will encourage an expanded dripline, as well as support the tree as it matures.
If they are grafted fruit trees, never plant the graft below the topsoil.
Good idea to wait a bit then. I know there is always instructions in our shipments as to how to do that.
