Autumn is considered one of the best tree-planting seasons because the weather is cool and the ground isn't frozen over yet. Here are some things to keep in mind if you're planning to plant a tree during this time of year :
The soil should be moist and fall apart easily when crumbled.
Using mulch can reduce freezing and improve water penetration to the roots of your tree.
Use fertilizer while planting to keep your tree and its roots healthy.
Avoid planting your tree in a pot so it has more space to spread out and grow.
If the weather is on the colder side, it is important to slowly introduce your tree to this environment as not to shock it.
Dig the hole you want to plant your tree in during the spring, before the ground gets too cold.
Use burlap cloth to wrap the trunk of your tree if you're worried about frost cracks or breakage caused by snow.
It is best to store trees in a cool, dark environment if you're not ready to plant them right away.
Happy planting!
