![]() True, bare root shipping weighs less, and may cost a few pennies less - but we think you will find our shipping costs to be quite reasonable when compared to other nurseries. We have found this method to be much less stressful on the plant than shipping bare root. The result is a plant that arrives to you in excellent condition, and whose root system is protected and in tact, while the rest of the plant is able to "breathe". We use various methods to secure the plant within the shipping box so that it does not move / shift during transit. The bag is then secured with a twist tie around the plant's base and placed in the shipping container/box and sent out for shipment. The plastic bag serves to keep the root base nice & moist while keeping the remaining soil with the roots. The root base of the plant is then misted down with water and put in a plastic bag. Prior to shipping, your plant(s) are removed from their pots and any loose, unnecessary soil removed. The Espoma Organic Plant Foods may be used at anytime. Best to fertilize in early spring, and again in mid fall - avoid feeding standard chemical fertilizers during hot summer months, and directly after transplanting. Other granular fertilizers with a 6 - 12 - 12, or 10 - 10 - 10 ratio can also be used - but we suggest using them at 1/2 - 3/4 strength to avoid any chemical burn issues to the root system of the plants. However, a water soluble type plant food (Miracle Gro, or equivalent ) are also acceptable options. We personally use, and recommend the Espoma line of organic plant foods, as they are super effective yet gentle enough to use on even the most delicate of evergreen species where fertilizer burn would normally be a major concern.
