Our plants establish their root systems in the ground and are typically not grown in pots. We transplant to a pot at the time of order, only when the season for exchanging bare root plants has ended. Our potting mix is a combination of the topsoil they've been growing in and used to, as well as compost, biochar, and wood chips. All these nutritious amendments give structure to the soil and should be added to the planting hole. These potted plants have healthy roots and are ready for transplanting at the time of purchase, or can wait and be planted the following growing season. Shipping not available.
