Most woody plants do especially well when they are set out in the fall. Serious horticulturists prefer fall plantings since it allows the plants the balance of the fall, all winter and all spring to establish their new roots before the summer's hot, dry weather. Spring and summer plantings can also work well so long as you hand-water the new plants for the first season.

When's the best time to plant trees?

John Shelley's Garden Center & Nursery, Inc.
In either early Spring or throughout the Fall. The reason is that the soil temperature is low and the tree's roots can easily acclimate to the new soil where it will live for the rest of its life without stress. It takes about 30-45 days for a tree to root-in and begin living on its own without the additional care required to sustain its life. If a drought would occur, a minimum of 25 gallons or 1" of water would be required per tree per week to keep them alive.

How deep should I plant my trees and shrubs?

Master Gardener Faq: Landscape Horticulture: Shrubs - Osceol...
Never transplant ornamental trees and shrubs any deeper than they were already planted. After digging the planting hole only as deep as the root ball, backfill around the root ball using existing soil so that the plant will sit in the hole at the same level it was growing in the container. Research indicates that the addition of organic amendments is not needed.

What is the best time of year to plant?

Most tree planting for reforestation is done when seedlings are dormant and rainfall is frequent, that is, between December and April. Later planting can put your seedlings at risk because they can be exposed to warm temperatures before their roots have been settled into the soil by a good rain. Under some circumstances it may be desirable to plant in the early fall. This requires a containerized seedling that has been cultured for early shipment.

I have a mound POWTS and I want to landscape it. Can I plant trees and shrubs on or around it?

Sanitatation FAQs
Answer – If you want to put plantings on or near your POWTS you should plant species of plants that have a herbacious root system. If you select plants that have a woody root system and plant them very close to, or on top of, the absorption field it will experience root problems. The roots from this plant group tend to grow or migrate in the direction of a moisture source and work their way into the piping network. Once inside the network the roots begin to clog the piping.

There are many plants that attract birds or butterflies. Creating a garden that attracts them is easy. By putting a small bird bath or even a small pond in your garden, you attract many migratory and year round birds. Having plenty of seed or berry producing plants, such as hollies, is important if you want birds to stay. Attracting butterflies is easy with plants that are rich in flower nectar. One of the most popular plants for them is the Butterfly bush.
