paljasjuursed

Paljasjuursed, also known as bare-root plants, are plants that are sold without soil or protective packaging. They are typically dug up from the ground in the fall or winter, when their roots are exposed and the plant is dormant. This method of propagation is common for many types of plants, including trees, shrubs, and perennials.

The term "paljasjuursed" comes from the Estonian language, where "paljas" means bare and "juur" means root. The practice is widely used in horticulture and landscaping, as it allows for the transportation and planting of plants without the risk of damaging their root systems.

Bare-root plants are often sold in bundles or as individual plants, and they can be planted directly into the ground or into containers. When planting, it is important to ensure that the plant's root system is not damaged and that it is placed at the correct depth. Bare-root plants are typically more affordable than container-grown plants, as they do not require the cost of soil and packaging.

While bare-root plants can be a cost-effective option for gardeners and landscapers, they do require some knowledge and skill to handle and plant properly. It is important to choose a suitable planting site and to follow proper planting techniques to ensure the plant's success. Additionally, bare-root plants may be more susceptible to damage from pests and diseases, so it is important to take appropriate precautions to protect them.
