Bare root stockBare root trees are the most economical, and are usually the preferred stock when larger quantities of trees are needed. However, bare root trees are also more difficult to store and handle, requiring extra care to maximize the success of a plantation. The prices are in effect until October 31, 2012 and are subject to change after that date. 2012 Order confirmations will be sent out starting in November 2011 and are processed on a first come, first serve basis. **Please call the nursery at 613-258-0110 ext. 225 for up to date stock availability.
