Hi all
Just wondering has anybody sent bare roots by post?
How have you sent them?
What sort of packaging have you used?
Or have you sent any plants by post?

I haven't sent them but I've received a lot. Bit of compost, slightly damp with the roots in a plastic bag, secured with a rubber band, any top growth outside of the bag. Never had any problems.
In the sticks near Peterborough
Nice idea with the rubber band to stop the dirt coming out
I only tried to send small rooted cuttings in a small pot in a bit of cardboard and where they had not rooted enough the dirt came out in the post ladies bag as she commented to the person I was sending plants to.
