The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago; the next best is today! But if scheduling is more your style, Fall is a great place to schedule your tree plating project.
Survival rates for newly planted trees are much higher in the fall for several reasons. Lower temperatures allow for greater moisture retention in the soil. This makes digging easier, and also gives roots easier access to moisture in the most sensitive weeks right after planting.
Cooler weather also allows for slower transpiration - the process by which moisture exits through the leaves.
Roots can also continue to grow even as the leaves fall, using energy stored in the body of the tree. Trees can do this all winter without having to devote limited energy to new leaf growth. This is especially true of deciduous trees, but also applies to conifers like Green Giant Arborvitae.
Now that you're in the know, you can plan your tree planting project with confidence.
Our large trees are dug fresh and wrapped in burlap directly before shipping ensuring maximum root health and optimum growth upon planting.
