About Maid of Orleans Jazmín
Maid of Orleans Jazmín ships as a dormant bare-root tree. It may arrive without leaves, flowers, or fruit, which is normal for bare-root trees during dormancy. Shipping fruit trees bare-root helps reduce transplant stress, keeps the root system easier to inspect, and allows the tree to establish quickly after planting.
Once planted in suitable conditions, the tree will gradually break dormancy and begin producing new growth. Leaf-out timing depends on the variety, your climate, soil temperature, and care after planting.
What to Expect on Arrival
Your tree may look like a leafless young tree or branch with exposed roots. This does not mean the tree is dead. A healthy dormant bare-root tree often has firm roots, flexible stems, and living buds along the branches.
Please unpack your tree as soon as it arrives. Keep the roots moist and protected from direct sun or drying wind until planting.
Planting Instructions
Before planting, soak the roots in clean water for a few hours. Choose a location with well-draining soil and enough sunlight for the specific fruit tree variety. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots naturally without bending or crowding them.
Place the tree so the graft union stays above the soil line. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water deeply after planting. Keep the soil evenly moist while the tree establishes, but avoid waterlogged conditions.
Care After Planting
Bare-root fruit trees need time to wake up and establish after planting. In many climates, new leaves may appear within several weeks, but timing can vary. Avoid heavy fertilizing immediately after planting. Focus on consistent watering, protection from extreme weather, and allowing the root system to settle in.
If planting in a container, use a large pot with drainage holes and a high-quality, well-draining potting mix.
Important Note
Product photos may show mature trees, leaves, flowers, or fruit for reference. Your order will ship as a young dormant bare-root fruit tree unless otherwise stated. Fruiting time depends on the variety, age, climate, pollination, and growing conditions.
