About root ball plants
These are field-grown plants, lifted with their soil and wrapped in hessian during the dormant season (roughly November to March). Root balls give you a bigger plant for your money than pot-grown stock and establish well when planted promptly.
Delivery
Lifted to order at the nursery and delivered on a pallet, usually within 2 weeks. One pallet delivery charge per order, however many plants you buy.
Planting
- Plant within a few days of delivery. Until then, keep the root balls moist and sheltered, and don't let them dry out or freeze.
- Dig a hole or trench twice the width of the root ball and the same depth.
- Loosen the hessian at the top but leave it in place; it rots down in the soil.
- Firm in well and water thoroughly. Keep watering through the first spring and summer, especially in dry spells.
