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.

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.

The pike also tend to be in the shallower waters and stack up by rapids and other moving water. The weather can be unpredictable and cooler, but usually by the first week in June the temperatures are in the 70s.

Question - What's the best time of the year to fish for crappie?

Crappie Fishing FAQ
Answer - Any time that you're not in the hospital. Just kidding.....almost. Most folks fish for crappie in the Spring time when the fish are up shallow and are at their easiest to catch. Of course, Spring is the most unstable of the months weather wise. Every time a front passes through, the fish will react to it, and generally in a negative manner. My favorite time is Summer and Fall. Fish are totally dependable in their locations, and are most willing to eat a jig.
