Pralinage. Cette opération en apportant aux racines fraîcheur et même hormones de reprise, facilite grandement la réussite de la plantation d'autant qu'elle crée autour d'elles une carapace terreuse déjà bien adhérente. Préparons un mélange de boue argileuse et d'hormones (dans les proportions recommandées par le fabricant) et laissons tremper les racines des végétaux un quart d'heure dans cette préparation. Plantons après avoir laissé sécher la "praline". Le pralinage devient indispensable pour toute plantation effectuée en fin de printemps. 3, record 3, French, - pralinage

Choose a tree with a good strong root system, that is, with a healthy main root and many fine feeder roots. Being able to see the roots is the main advantage of buying bareroot!... It's very important to keep the roots of bareroot stock moist. Soaking the roots in a bucket of water for an hour before planting is an excellent idea. After this soaking, handle the tree quickly so it doesn’t dry out, especially if it's a windy day. Any bareroot stock bought before you’ve prepared a planting area should be heeled into a moist planting medium. Sawdust works well for this because you can lift the plant out easily, with minimal damage to roots. 1, record 4, English, - bareroot%20stock
