Bareroot seedlings are still available to purchase for your spring planting projects. 

You are not too late! 

 

 Bareroot seedlings are dormant plants that are dug up and stored without any soil around their roots.  Bareroot seedlings often establish faster and adapt better to their new conditions than larger plants. This makes them the best choice for large afforestation and smaller scale projects.

 

Orders for bareroot seedlings can be made through our website: Fergusontreenursery.ca, e-mail: Orders@Fergusontreenursery.ca or by phone: 613-258-0110.

  

The minimum purchase requirement is 100 bareroot seedlings in total, at least 20 per species, for example: 20 Bitternut Hickory, 40 Hackberry, 40 Black Walnut = 100.

• Bareroot seedlings are the most economical planting stock for large planting projects. They are the best performers in open fields where competition is high because they establish quickly.  
• Can be used to create a windrow to reduce excessive wind, block snowdrifts, prevent soil erosion, and provide privacy.
• Bareroot seedlings planted on shoreline, protect surface and groundwater sources and stabilize the soil. 
• After a weather event like the derecho we had last spring or invasive species damage like the Emerald Ash borer, you can improve forest health and rehabilitate your woodlot.  with a bareroot seedling restoration planting. 

     In early spring after the frost has left the ground, soil moisture is high and temperatures are mild. This minimizes handling and planting stresses, making it an ideal time to plant.
