The Best Time for Planting

While trees can be planted almost year-round with proper care, certain times are optimal:

  • Autumn (October-November): Ideal for most deciduous trees, allowing root establishment before summer
  • Winter (December-February): Good for dormant bare-root trees when ground isn’t frozen
  • Early Spring (March-April): Excellent for many species before the stress of summer heat
  • Container-Grown Trees: Can be planted almost any time with proper care, but avoid extremely hot periods

Our experts will advise on the optimal planting time for your specific trees and situation.
