Question: What are "root balled" tree saplings?
Answer: Root balled saplings are usually older than two to three year-old seedlings and are dug from commercial or government nursery plots. They are delivered individually with roots covered by an earth ball enclosing the roots and wrapped in some biodegradable fabric.
These higher valued saplings are generally associated with horticultural plantings geared toward urban situations where landscaping is of primary concern. You can plant these trees in any season.
