What is a bare root tree? A bare root tree is a tree that has been grown in the field and then lifted out of the ground when dormant. Sometimes referred to as ‘open ground’ trees, they are available from early November to March. The soil is knocked off the roots after lifting, hence the common name of ‘bare root’. This is the traditional method of growing and transporting trees and has been the usual practice for many centuries, long before it became normal to use containers.
