Could someone please advise me on the best way to heel in bare root trees and shrubs. My order came a month early and the orchard site is not cleared of the tree roots. I hope to do this before creating the swales and mounds. There will be a mixture of fruit trees, black locust, mulberry , basswood, linden, and goumi shrubs, buckthorn,clover ground cover insectary plants and perennials and herbs. I would also like some input on grouping the trees into guilds and the ratio of nitrogen fixers to fruit trees.
