packaged great
James (Verified Customer) –
Bare roots arrived in excellent condition and were intact and strong looking. Roots were soaked for a few hours per the instructions and planted the same day. After a couple weeks, the leaves are already popping out! I recommend preparing your holes prior to the arrival of your bare roots so that it’s not overwhelming receiving, soaking, digging and planting in one day. I cant wait for these raspberries to fruit!
