Hi, plant them as soon as possible but not in frozen ground. Use the
same method of planting as any other shrub or tree planting up to the
nursery soil mark.
barerooted plants need good soil, stake the hole first and backfill the
hole and plant gradually making sure the roots have no air pockets,
then tie the tree with a tree tie.
We are soon to plant 700 trees that are bare rooted so your job should
not take too long!
Important to ensure the tree gets off to a good start so get some
compost and fertilizer into the planting hole. steve.

What method (s) do you use for planting 700 trees?
Is notch planting used in these circumstances.
I recently read that Kew recommend planting trees in square holes and adding
no nutrients, which seems to go against what I have always believed.
