Bare Root or Potted?

The pink velour crapemyrtle adds plenty of flashy pink color to any landscape all summer long. But the flowers are not the only point of interest for this shrub. The leathery leaves emerge wine-colored, turning purple-green in the summer and orange-brown in the fall. Also, the bark on its mature branches exfoliates.

  • Provides a splash of vivid pink blossoms
  • Blooms starting in July and reblooms through September
  • Features distinct foliage that provides interest when not in bloom
  • Works well as a specimen or as part of a shrub or perennial border
  • Has high mildew resistance
  • Will be delivered in a 4" container

Planting Instructions

Bare-Root Tree

Bare-root trees are shipped without soil around their roots. They are shipped when dormant (sleep state). In this dormant state, deciduous trees may display small buds but not leaves. Roots will come coated in a hydrating gel. Bare-root trees require more attention and care initially to ensure they remain properly watered and protected from extreme weather conditions.

Benefits:
  • Cost-effective
  • Roots re-establish quickly once planted, meaning growth will begin faster
  • Easy to plant at the correct depth
Potted Tree

Potted trees are available in a variety of sizes. Because the roots are packed in soil, the trees do not need to be dormant for shipping. Potted trees often have a more established appearance with leaves and foliage, providing an immediate visual impact on the landscape.

Benefits:
  • Reduced transplant shock
  • Extended shipping/planting season
  • Higher survivability
Which Tree is Right for Me?

With the option of ordering either standard or semi-dwarf trees and either bare-root or potted, be sure to consider the benefits of each option when deciding which is best for you.

Standard Height

Benefits:
  • Also functions as a shade tree
  • Can be planted farther from compatible pollinator
  • Fills a larger space

Semi-Dwarf Height

Benefits:
  • Easier to harvest fruit
  • Bears fruit sooner
  • Fits in a smaller space
