When Should You Plant Trees?

Now is a good time to plant trees. The summer heat is behind us, but the ground hasn't frozen yet (as it will do, soon enough, in the North).

I even enjoy shopping for trees this time of year. What nurseries are still open for business will be far less crowded now than they were earlier in the year. That means more elbow room for you, as you browse -- but it means more than just that. For instance, you may be able to pick some brains during this slow time in a way that would be impossible when the hordes are still doing their shopping. Furthermore, there may be some bargains to be had -- not only for trees, but also for shrubs or perennials.

Now that you know late fall is a good time to plant trees, find out why this is so. It's easy to forget such pointers if you never absorb the whys and wherefores behind them! This article explains the reasons why some times of the year are better than others for planting trees.
