Planting tips: For bare root plants, holes should be dug deep enough to accommodate the entire root system. Space plants 5-6 feet apart in a row, and if planting in a cluster, 8x10 or 10x10 foot spacing is advisable. For erosion control - plant 2 feet apart and for wildlife habitat 4-6 feet apart.

These are bare root seedlings. The roots of some seedlings may be trimmed for ease of planting and packaging purposes.
