I have heard that February is a good time to plant bare rooted deciduous


...well yes according to all the gardening press, but I visit dozens of
garden centres/nuseries, the only bare rooted anythings I've seen were roses
at Endsleigh in S Devon a few years ago. Do such things (bare rootes shrubs)
really exist anymore?


I think a few places sell bare-rooted young trees still but without
consulting The Boss, I'd guess that now buying in containers is both so
popular and so easy for gardener and nurseryman, there is little point in
occupying valuable space (and that's at one helluva premium here at this
time of year) with things you can't sell except in autumn.
