Planting a tree definitely enhances any outdoor space. Many wonder when they should be planting their tree to maximize the amount of new growth. We highly recommend planting your tree early in the spring season (while still dormant) to strengthen the root system, prior to the rainy season. It is crucial to plant the tree when the soil is relatively dry to ensure it establishes an effective base before beginning to grow upward.
Benefits of planting early:
- Avoids obstruction from wet soil.
- Root system strengthens smoothly, allowing for tree to grow faster.
- Enjoy your tree sooner than later!
While planting in the early spring season is the best, that still does not rule out planting a tree into the fall. Our trees are carefully tended to and cultivated, ensuring they can be transplanted smoothly throughout the spring into the fall season. Fall is a great time to plant as the cooler nights and warmer days are ideal for establishing a plants root system.
