Bare root stockSpring 2011 Bare root price listBare 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 August 31, 2010 and are subject to change after that date. Order confirmations will be sent out starting in November 2010 and are processed on a first come, first serve basis. |
