How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Trees

Bare root trees are shipped dormant without soil, making them lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to plant during the cool months of early spring or fall. To begin, soak the roots in a bucket of water for 4–6 hours before planting to rehydrate them. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil and ample space for the tree’s mature size.

Dig a hole twice as wide as the spread of the roots and deep enough to keep the root flare (where the roots begin to spread from the trunk) at or slightly above ground level. Create a small mound of soil in the center of the hole, spread the roots evenly over it, backfill with native soil, and gently tamp down to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting.

Keep the soil consistently moist (not soggy) during the first growing season, and apply mulch around the base—avoiding direct contact with the trunk—to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Stake the tree if necessary, and prune only to remove dead or damaged branches. With proper care, your bare root tree will establish quickly and grow strong for years to come.

White Dogwood Trees thrive in well-drained soil and benefit from regular watering, especially during dry periods. Trim after blooming to keep shape and clear dead wood. Apply mulch to conserve moisture and protect roots. Fertilize annually with a balanced formula.

The White Dogwood Tree thrives in partial shade to full sun. It should receive morning sunlight and some afternoon shade for optimal growth and flowering. It can tolerate full sun in cooler climates but prefers protection from harsh afternoon rays.

Forget the big box stores and spend your $ with TN Nursery.
THANK YOU!!! I will be shopping here from now on.

So far so good!

Received the trees yesterday and planted today per the instructions on the sellers website. Instructions were very clear and easy to understand, nothing out of the ordinary. Ordered these about two weeks ago and seller did send an email stating that there would be a slight delay in shipping due to weather conditions and not being able to dig up the plants without damaging them. I appreciated the communication and the heads up that there would be a delay and honestly, it wasn’t anything significant, maybe a day or 2. Trees looked very healthy when I unboxed them and all the trees had good looking buds. For the price for these trees it was a very good deal and I would definitely recommend purchasing. I will be using Tennessee Nursery again in the future.
