Bare root plants are plants that are sold without any soil around their roots. Bare root plants are dug up when they are dormant. Any soil is removed by washing, and the plants are kept cool and damp. By removing the soil, the plants are lighter weight, making it possible to ship them to the location where they will be planted.
