For the last few years, nursery has been selling the bare
roots in biodegradable pots-- looks like some kind of cardboard? or?

One is supposed to plant the whole thing & it will
degrade/dissolve/disappear/whatever.

The theory ius that it willdecompose. the actuality is that it
doesn't ... at least slash the pot in several places, and soak it
well so it goes in the ground totally sodden.

For some reason, I'm suspicious of these, and last year I
removed the pot and proceeded with normal planting.

probably a better idea.
