As the end of summer begins to near, now is the time to start planning ahead for fall! Have you been wanting to plant new trees or shrubs to enhance your landscape? It’s not too late! In fact, fall is the perfect time to hire landscapers to plant new trees and shrubs in your yard! So, when you are ready to start planning your fall planting in Manheim, give Root’s Nurseries a call. Our landscapers are ready to help.
While fall may not seem like the best time of year to plant with the looming harsh conditions of winter, it is actually one of the best times of year to plant trees and shrubs! The temperatures throughout fall are moderate, allowing the trees and shrubs to acclimate better to their new homes. In summer, the high temperatures mean more concern about frequent watering to help the new tree or shrub adjust. Meanwhile, in winter the cold temperatures prove to be a large shock to the newly planted tree or shrub. This leaves fall and spring as the best times for temperatures conducive to planting new trees and shrubs.
However, with spring rains and late, unexpected frosts, spring also carries its own risks for planting trees and shrubs. The ground often remains soggy throughout the spring, leaving the tree or shrub with the risk of being overwatered while adjusting. Plus, the ground can remain frozen off and on throughout spring, leaving planting a more difficult task overall.
All of this leaves fall as the perfect time to plant your new trees and shrubs! Fall provides moderate temperatures, allowing your new additions to thrive. It also offers an easier task for planting as you aren’t dealing with soggy or frozen ground! Finally, fall presents us with soil that isn’t too dry due to summer heat or too wet due to spring rains, allowing your new trees or shrubs time to acclimate in moderate conditions overall.
Plus, when you decide to choose your own trees from our fields at Root’s Nurseries, fall is one of our digging seasons! This means that you can choose your new tree now and have it dug up, ready to plant just in time for your fall planting.
