: I am considering planting Burning Bushes as hedges what is the difference between planting bare root vs already established 2 yr old plants? We are planting in Tucson Az. according to zones we fall between zone 5-8.
: Thank You.

Hi Jamie,

Zones 5 to 8 is quite a long stretch. Here's a zip code zone finder.

The potted plants will probably settle in more quickly, but there shouldn't be any significant difference. The bare root ones are usually shipped that way to make them less expensive to ship.
