🌱 Late October/early November is the perfect time for Bare Root Fruit Tree Planting! The soil is workable but the tree is dormant. To Do: 1. Dig a wide, shallow hole. 2. Spread roots out. 3. Plant so the graft union is above soil level. 4. Water well & mulch. Enjoy spring blooms! #FruitTrees

My late mother-in-law was a farmer. Her saying was “when you plant a fifty dollar tree dig a hundred dollar hole.”

Your mother-in-law was spot on. I've seen people cheap out on the planting hole and watch the tree struggle for years. Proper preparation saves you a lot of frustration down the line.
