Country oak mycorrhizated with boletus. Quercus robur. Bare root

SPECIES- TREE (Quercus Robur) MUSHROOM (Boletus edulis).

PLANTING CALENDAR - All year round (extreme care if planted in the summer months), Deciduous tree (loses its leaves in the autumn and winter months)

PRODUCTION TIME - Average mushroom production time is 8-10 years.

GUARANTEE - Trees will be perfectly packed and watered.

Soils

They develop on both siliceous and limestone substrates

It needs soils with a certain fertility for a good development

Tolerates heavy and clay soils, even with a certain seasonal waterlogging, so it is often part of the riparian forests

Light

Light or half-light species, since small plants do not support a tree cover beyond one or two years

At the beginning they appreciate a lateral accompaniment, but as the years go by they become more demanding in terms of living space and need to develop in full light

Water

In Spain it requires an average annual rainfall of more than 600 mm and a summer rainfall of more than 200 mm

It requires certain humidity in the environment but, endowed with an intense metabolism, especially edaphic humidity, it tolerates great brevity of vegetative period presenting a great resistance to the cold, which allows it to adapt in continental zones

It defends itself from late frosts by delaying its budding and foliage

what is a bare root tree?

A bare-root tree is basically a tree whose roots are not covered by anything, i.e. "bare root". This method of plant distribution allows its acquisition by customers at a lower price, since they have no substrate or container. This reduces the weight of the plant and facilitates its handling and transportation. This plant format is only available during the winter months and for a limited time.

why only for a limited time?

Bare-root planting is possible due to the vegetative dormancy of plants during the winter. This "dormancy" or dormancy of the plant allows it to be transplanted without the need for substrate. When the heat arrives, the plants come out of their standstill and begin to develop. At that time, no bare root transplanting should be done.

when should I plant?

Immediately after acquiring your plant. It is not recommended that plants have their roots exposed to the air for a long time. If you are not going to be able to plant them in their final location, you can use fine sand to cover the roots and keep them moist.
