BMPs for Bare Root Trees
Monday, July 17 • 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM

Growing top-quality trees begins with choosing the right liners. Bare root? Container? Root control bag? Fabric? Plastic? Air pruning container? Whip or branched? So many choices . . . The next step is to prune for a structure that will set up those trees for success. Our speakers share expertise gained from their combined 80 years of experience as growers with their current roles as sales representatives for some of the nation’s top propagators and liner producers.
