It is best to plant trees when they are dormant (because you aren’t as likely to disrupt their growth), so you need to consider if the tree is deciduous or evergreen. Deciduous trees do well if they are planted at the end of fall, when their leaves are falling and they are beginning to go dormant, or (better yet) the beginning of spring, before they have begun to bud. Oct 25, The 50° F mark works best for deciduous trees. Those are the trees that shed leaves before for winter.

Because of this, they focus only on growing and providing water to their roots in winter. So, they don’t need as much energy. On the other hand, evergreen trees–like pine and spruce–hold onto their needles year-round.

They need all the nutrients they can get before the ground freezes. That’s.

Apply 10 gallons of water for every inch diameter of the trunk.

Sep 28, Evergreens require the most time to get established, followed by deciduous trees (trees that drop their leaves in fall) which do best for new root growth in soil temperatures around 50°F or 10°C. And note that we’re talking soil temperature (at root depth), not air temperature which will probably be several degrees cooler than this at this time of treecutter.barted Reading Time: 5 mins.

Aug 22, Most deciduous shrubs are easily planted in fall; however, broad-leaved evergreens like rhododendron and narrow-leaved evergreens like yew prefer to be planted in the spring. Fall planting (mid-August to mid-October) takes advantage of favorable soil temperatures and moisture conditions that promote the root growth needed to sustain plants through their critical first year in the landscape.

Sep 22, Ideal dates for fall planting are shown (Fig. 1). These deadlines will give tree roots about a month to grow. Planting trees after these dates may be successful, but chances for success diminish the later you get into the season, especially with evergreens.

Water the soil until it is well soaked.

Oct 03, By Melinda Myers - horticulturist and gardening expert October 3, Fall is a great time to plant trees and shrubs. The soil is warm and the air is cool making it easier for the plants to adapt to their new location. And when the weather is suitable for planting, you will be more comfortable and likely do a better treecutter.barted Reading Time: 5 mins.
