Are bigger trees more likely to fail?
Many think the smaller the tree the more likely it is to survive. This is true of trees supplied as root balled or bare root, i.e. trees plucked from the open ground with root systems exposed like fish out of water, but not true of our Barcham trees.
Think of a bare rooted tree or root balled tree in terms of a running pump with no access to water. A tree’s system is pressurized to carry water from the roots to the shoots and if the roots are exposed the tree cannot then move water around its system and so quickly dies of dehydration.
Our trees, including large specimens, are grown in our patented Light Pots, which protect the roots and allow them to develop in a healthy, undamaged way. This means whether you choose a small or large tree, it will arrive with a fully functional and
We take pride in the condition of our trees — the roots are in top shape from the moment they’re delivered.
And if you follow our planting guide and use one of our watering bags, filling it once a week during the tree’s first growing season, we guarantee your tree will survive — something very few nurseries are confident enough to offer.
