Sorry to re-open an older thread, but rather than start a new one...
I've got a pair of bare root plants arriving tomorrow (Holy Grail and Cranberry Crush) and I've found scant little info on the web about planting them as bare roots, which is bizarre.
Any tips or tricks, advice or suggestions would be appreciated. I don't even really know how deep to plant them which seems like that would be important given than I am in 6a and depth probably = survival this winter.
I've picked a fairly moist spot, all the sun they could want, have already bedded a lot of rich compost for them to find about 10" down roughly in the area I want them to expand into, and I have loosened and enriched the soil in prep for them. They are the anchors to the entire planting area and will be the background plants, so I am pretty eager for them to do well.
