Betting takes place in the spring very much like in the autumn. “The price pit must be large enough so that no roots are not beaten back,” says Jana Bucharová, expert on the garden themes of the magazine Receptor. Of course, this is especially true for bare -rooted seedlings. Carefully and gradually you should also fill container trees. ”
