Hi,
I've never collected trees before. I live in southern New York (zone 6b) and I want to collect a few larches I found in a bog. I heard it's best to collect them in the spring just before their bud break. I'm not familiar with recognizing the health of larches, and I read that it's very important to collect a healthy tree.
Can anyone who has experience collecting larches give me some fundamental pointers? Since it'll be in the spring, is it ok to cut some of the roots? If so how much? How do I treat collected larches when they're brought home? What kind of soil do they need?
Your help is much appreciated!
