Autumn is the Year's Second Big Tree-Planting Season

If you’re looking for ways to improve the curb appeal of your property, then there are few options better than planting a tree. Trees add a tranquil and scenic quality that few project other options come close to. Although many people think that spring is the best time of the year to plant trees, fall is actually a good time to plant trees as well.

Spring is still the perfect time to plant a tree, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait. Fall is an ideal time for planting for a number of reasons. First of all, although it’s a cooler time of the year, the soil will be warm enough to provide root growth. The plant will go dormant during the winter, but come spring, your tree’s roots will be ready to take in water during the hotter temperatures. Once the tree’s leaves begin unfurling and expanding, the increased roots will be better able to access its reservoir of water, which also helps to reduce the stress of transplanting a tree.
