The foliage is a lush, deep green, providing a beautiful backdrop for the vibrant blooms.

Originating from the harsh climates of Central Asia, the Siberian Pea Tree is well-equipped to thrive in the British climate. Its resilience and adaptability make it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners, allowing you to enjoy its beauty with minimal effort.
The Siberian Pea Tree is a hardy, drought-tolerant species that requires minimal attention. Plant it in well-draining soil and position it in a sunny location for the best results.

Prune the tree in late winter or early spring to maintain its shape and promote healthy growth.

What Are Bare Root Trees?
Bare root trees are young trees sold without soil around their roots during their dormant season. This method of selling trees has been practised for centuries and offers numerous advantages for both gardeners and the environment. Typically available late Autumn to early Spring.
The Bare Root Advantage
Cost-Effective
Bare root trees are typically less expensive than their container-grown counterparts. Without the need for pots, soil, and extensive care during growth, these savings are passed on to you.
Easier to Plant
The absence of soil means bare root trees are lighter and easier to handle. This makes planting a breeze, especially when dealing with larger quantities or varieties.
Quicker Establishment
Counter-intuitively, bare root trees in some instances establish faster than container-grown trees. Their exposed root systems quickly adapt to native soil, developing a robust network that supports rapid growth.
Environmentally Friendly
Bare root trees are a green choice. They require less water during nursery care and transportation, reducing their carbon footprint. Plus, there’s no plastic pot waste!
When to Plant Bare Root Trees
The window for planting bare root trees is limited to their dormant season, typically from late autumn to early spring. This period allows the trees to establish themselves before the demands of new growth in spring.
Planting and Care Tips
- Soak roots in water for a few hours before planting
- Dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the spread roots
- Plant at the same depth as the soil mark on the stem
- Backfill with native soil, firming gently
- Water well and mulch around the base
- Stake larger trees to provide support
Why Choose Bare Root Trees?
- Value for Money: Get more trees for your budget
- Wider Selection: Access to a broader range of species and varieties
- Better for Transplanting: Less shock to the tree during the planting process
- Ideal for Larger Projects: Perfect for hedgerows, orchards, or woodland creation
Environmental Impact
By choosing bare root trees, you’re making a positive impact on the environment. These trees are carbon positive, meaning they absorb more carbon dioxide than is produced in their cultivation and transportation. As they grow, they continue to sequester carbon, improve air quality, and provide habitats for wildlife.
Embrace the bare root revolution and watch your garden flourish with these dormant dynamos. Plant a legacy that will grow for generations to come!
