Answer to Question 1

The main advantage of the balled and burlapped method is that transplanting shock is
minimized; the main disadvantage is cost. The main advantage of the bare root method
is that plants are lightweight, making shipping more economical, and the initial cost
per plant to the grower is lower; however, the main disadvantage is that there is a
problem with transplanting shock.

Answer to Question 2

The distance between rows of plants is determined by the final size of the plant and the
type of equipment used in the nursery.
