When is the best time to plant trees?

The best time to plant trees is typically in the early spring or fall, depending on your climate.

Why is spring or fall the best time?

In spring, the soil is warming up, and trees can establish roots before summer heat. In fall, cooler temperatures help reduce stress.

Are there specific trees that should be planted at different times?

Yes, some trees, like evergreens, are best planted in early spring, while others, like deciduous trees, can be planted in fall.

What about planting in summer or winter?

Planting in summer can stress trees due to heat, while winter is generally too cold for planting, except in mild climates.

Can I plant trees in containers at any time?

Yes, container trees can be planted any time of year, but ensure they are watered properly.
