- 2-0 bare-root seedling - this represents a tree seedling that has been grown in a nursery bed for 2 years. The first number (2 in this case) stands for the number of years in the nursery bed. The second number stands for the number of years a seedling has been transplanted to another nursery bed. In this case the seedling has not been transplanted to another bed, so the second number is 0. The term “bare root” means that the seedling was lifted from the nursery bed without retaining any soil.
