The Bare root Hole Size Chart are for you to have the estimated
hole size for the Bare root Trees. Unlike the container plants where the
root ball is your gauge for a hole size, bare root tree hole are estimated by
the caliper or diameter of the trunk. These charts are to either give a
customer with a tree(s) reserved with us to know how big of a hole to dig or for
those curious in buying a bare root to know what they are getting into.
Also this can help customers with fence yards with gates to know how large a
tree can brought into their yard without having to adjust the fence first.

Multi-stemmed Trees are based on their location in the field versus their
caliper because there are at least 2 trunks and caliper really cannot be
measured for a hole size, this is based on our digging experience with
multi-stemmed trees.
