Aug 22, Conifers, such as pine and spruce, benefit from a slightly earlier start, preferring the warmer soil temperatures (60 to 70 F) common in late summer to early fall (mid-August through September).

If plants from a nursery can be planted in the fall, what about moving or transplanting established trees and shrubs from one locale to another? Young spruce tree saplings can survive if they are planted in late August to mid fall before the first heavy frost of the autumn season occurs. Mulch heavily around the base of the sapling to help protect its delicate root system from heaving upward during the cold winter months and spring thaw. Oct 25, Mid-August to mid-October is an ideal time of year to plant new trees.

Though, that time frame can be stretched. A good rule of thumb is that if the trees in your area still have leaves, you can plant new trees. To be % sure, look to the soil!

Aug 17, Take cuttings in late summer or early fall. Choose healthy shoots and clip off each about as long as your palm. Recut the base of the cutting at an angle and strip all needles from the lower two-thirds of each one. Plant the cuttings deep into sandy treecutter.barted Reading Time: 2 mins. Nov 09, The best time of the year to transplant trees and plants is autumn.

This is because of cool temperatures and warm moist soil. Plants also require less energy as they begin enter the early stages of dormancy. They are no longer focusing on above ground growth.

Oct 23, In general, the best time for planting trees is late winter or early spring. In temperate areas, this period is typically followed by a period of moderate weather during which the new transplant will have time to become established. If that does not fit your schedule, then aim for autumn. Estimated Reading Time: 3 mins.
