Don't Buy Bare-Root Dogwood Trees - Here's Why
Tips, Tricks
Dogwood Trees require a fibrous root system in order to thrive in the landscape. http://www.fast-growing-trees.com/ Many nurseries sell bare-root dogwood trees, where the tree has been ripped out of the ground and washed of any remaining soil. This is a great way to get a cheap tree, but over time the dogwood will not bloom as heavy and will be susceptible to a wide variety of diseases. Do not fall into the trap of cheap trees. When you purchase dogwoods, make sure it has a fully intact root system with tiny fibrous roots. This will guarantee you have a beautiful tree for years to come.

Nurseries "Up-pot" tree saplings several times before selling them in order to produce fibrous root systems. Bare root trees may take longer to establish, but assures there are no possible girdling roots. So they end up living much longer. Remember, keep all roots growing radially outbound, just like spokes on a wheel. Good luck!
