    Last year, the Delaware Center for Horticulture started using bare root stock in their plantings, and have found that bare root stock makes for easier plantings. A young tree without soil weighs very little, is easy to move and plant, and is cheaper due to less labor and materials. However, working with bare root stock requires careful coordination. Once they leave the nursery, bare root trees need to get in the ground within a week at the longest. With no soil, the roots can dry out and die if left exposed for any time. They are delivered in bulk with roots covered in only a very moist medium or slurry hydrogel.
