So is it 48 hrs bare roots drying, then soak for 12 hours in SES solution, what is the best way to ensure success for the transplants, we had the opportunity to get some fruit trees saplings from a friends farm, they have been drying for 36 hrs with the leaves on. Any help would be greatly appreciated, we are in Bocas Del Toro, Panama

I bought a peach tree which was already in a pot. I ended up shaking off all the soil then letting it dry out for a couple of days. I created the SES solution and let the peach tree soak for 24 hours then planted. I have to say that the tree looks really healthy right now producing flowers as the spring time weather is here. Sounds like you are on your way. Let us know what you did and how it came out.

Basically the same thing, dried for 36 hours, seed soaked for 12, they are looking dead though, I checked in with Drake during the Office Hours and he said to leave it in the pot or bag just dont water it for two days, then remove the dirt cut the tap root and seed soak for 1-2 hours. Can’t say the trees are looking very good right now but they may come back

a good way to check to see if they r dead or not is if they snap and break or if they bend and flex i had a bare root berry plant that i did a seed soak on last yr i could have sworn the thing was dead but it never dried out it kept taking up water this spring it put on its first ever green growth last yr it was just a stick in a pot plants r weird just keep a eye on them stress is a huge factor and i would almost say that by just continuing to spray with KNF solutions that it kept it alive and grew a strong root system and started putting on new growth this spring when the time was right
