Eric Bergeson. "The Next Three Weeks is an Essential Time to Plant Trees."

Techniques for plants trees in round pots, newly potted and bare root.

In This Podcast:  Eric Bergeson, author of "Successful Gardening on the Northern Prairie."

Topics:  

Now is the prime time for planting trees on the Northern Prairie.  Eric gives tips on how to plant trees depending upon how you acquire them.  

For instance if you're planting  "Root-Bound in Pots," in which you break the root bag apart before planting.  (Listen for details.)

If you're planting "Newly-Potted Trees," you should treat them tenderly.

Finally, "Bare-Root" trees have the best chance for survival.

I also asked Eric about whether "peat" was  in danger of being all used up.  Hint:  "No."  (Something less for me to worry about.)
