Things to note about bare root trees prior to planting:

• Call before you dig!
• To prevent the tree from breaking its dormancy, you must keep it cool (ideally between 30 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Keep your bare root tree moist in a bucket of water or the damp roots wrapped in a plastic bag.
• Store the trees in your unheated garage or against the north side of your house.
• Just before planting, inspect the roots and cut off any that are dead or broken.
• If the roots feel dried out at all, submerge them in water for a couple of hours before planting.
• Keep the roots in a bucket of water or wrapped in moist burlap until the tree is in the ground.

Please call Monticello Parks, Arts & Recreation with any questions at 763-295-2711.
