Heeling in fruit trees

Coushatta, LA

Here is a little tip that will help those who have bare root trees and cannot get them plated right away.Remove the saw dust from the roots and soak them for 30 minutes.Then pack them tightly in a large pot and bury them in landscape mix (which is composted pine bark, sand and compost)and keep it moist.Do not let pot freeze!You can keep them for weeks like this.Be sure to plant before they start to sprout.Good luck.
