Bare Root Plants for Sale
Thank you for your interest and happy growing!
PLEASE READ: If you are local or regional to the Finger Lakes area (able to pick up in person), feel free to reach out to hello@edibleacres.org with a clear wish list of plants and we will work to arrange a pickup.
We update our inventory on March 1st for Spring bare root sales and September 1st for Fall bare root sales. If you are visiting this page and see everything as sold out, please make a note in your calendar to revisit at our next ‘opening’ and pick up some lovely plants!
Our Fall offerings tend to have higher numbers of trees, shrubs, cuttings and a medley of our abundant and fall appropriate herbaceous perennials. Spring offerings will generally have more herbaceous perennials, grasses, etc and a smaller number of trees and shrubs. We weight our inventory in large part based on seasonal appropriateness for establishment. We hope you understand and visit again if you don’t find what you are looking for this time.
If you are super eager to get plants now, we now have a Permaculture Nursery page that lists friends of ours with ethical and thoughtful growing practices. We strongly encourage you to check them out and get some awesome plants from them too!
TIP: Use the tags above to help filter our offerings by characteristic (ie. click on ‘fruit’ to find any fruit bearing plants we offer, etc.) As we add more and more it is a helpful way to find a plant to fit your goals…
Winter Bundles
Winter Bundles
After the rush of fall nursery digging, sorting and sharing of our lovely trees and shrubs we are often left with an over abundance of plants hoping to find homes coming into the colder months. We have found over the years that Fall and the first half of Winter, so long as the ground can be worked and mulch can be offered (even when digging through a crust of snow and ice a bit!), is a phenomenal time to plant dormant bare root shrubs and trees. Plants can establish many fine root hairs before Spring and be knit into the soil with beneficial relationships being made. It is our favorite time to plant shrubs and trees! We offer this opportunity to you as well in resilient and economical bundles of organically grown super hardy food and medicine plants. We have individual plants during our normal Spring and Fall sales and these bundles are intended to move many plants while the window is still open!
Each plant has much more detail provided on their respective product page, so check them out if you’d like to learn more (those pages are marked as sold out, you’ll order from here :)
Photos provide clear sense of size and scale of plants. Please review photos for the plants you are getting so you know what to expect! Ruler is 24” tall for reference. Many plants will be larger than depicted in photos, very few will be smaller.
