Bare root plants are ones that are in a dormant (sleeping) state.  We harvest them at specific times of the year and keep in cold storage at high humidity to ensure they stay viable while in storage awaiting shipment to our customers.  After being shipped, they will begin to exit dormancy.  They are super healthy plants that perform very well.  We've been shipping bareroot material for 2 decades with great success!
