HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Bare root trees are trees that are dug and stored without any soil around their roots.

Detailed explanation-2: -Any plant can be grown without soil. Tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, beans, potatoes, corn, oats, fruits, flowers, and many others have all been grown without soil.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bare root means that the plant has not been potted; instead, plants are harvested from their growing beds in the fall and the soil is removed from their roots. They are then bundled and kept dormant in cool warehouses until they are ready to be shipped to us beginning in late January.

Detailed explanation-4: -There is a way to grow plants without using soil called hydroponics. (Hydro is the Greek word for water.) Since plants still need something to anchor their roots into, soil is replaced with rockwool or cotton.
