They are the posted on to enable the new owners plant out before the sap starts rising.

Most large scale nurseries have containerised trees and you can buy them any time of the year

Of course they have, but they weigh a lot more, and the postage costs to export, to a different country, are usually higher than the cost of the trees, without having to take into account the additional weight of the containers.

That goes without saying but thats not the point you were raising in your original post.

And here is a copy of my original post,

Here is a nursery in the U.K. that export trees etc. I have used them, most survived and some have provided fruit. The most productive is the Cox Orange Pippin, it really likes it here in the Canaries.

No, I know that, I quoted the post about how it being "too late" because "the trees are dug up in winter when out of leaf, so that there is less stress for the plant.

They are the posted on to enable the new owners plant out before the sap starts rising."

I was simply giving the OP some more information about how most nurseries now offer trees in special containers that mean they can be planted directly into the ground any time of the year.
