FAQs - Plants
Container-grown plants can be transplanted any time of the year. The critical factor is keeping the soil moist to prevent the root ball from drying out. To dig and move hardy plants that are growing in the landscape, it is best to wait until the dormant period between December and February. If the plant is considered tender to cold, it is best to delay planting or transplanting until after cold weather passes (March/April).

Make sure you give the new tree a sunny site and space the trees at least 12 to 15 feet apart. If you miss the spring planting season, don't worry. Container-grown trees are available year-round. They can be added to the landscape anytime.

PAPHIOPEDILUM: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The choice over whether to divide large plants really depends on your growing goals and situation. You may wish to grow the plant into a larger 'specimen plant' that will produce larger and more flowers reliably, or you may want to produce divisions for trade or sale if the plant is in demand. Because most of our plants 'work by producing seed, we are very hesitant to divide them unless they fall apart at a division point when they are repotted.

How do you plant a macadamia tree?

Mac Faq's
Since macadamia trees are evergreen, you can prune them any time that you want. However, for the most part, they do not require a great deal of pruning for themselves. If you are not pleased with your trees shape then go at it. If you open up the tree to the rays of the sun you could make it a subject for sunburn. You can make a suntan lotion using white latex paint mixed half and half with water, then just brush it on the areas that you have exposed to the sun.

When is the best time to plant?

Garden design by Lesley Keck
Autumn and spring are much the best times for planting trees, shrubs, roses and herbaceous perennials when the ground is moist but not saturated. Ensure that the root ball of plants have been well soaked with water prior to planting. Make sure that the plants receive a good supply of water throughout their first year and water well in subsequent years during periods of drought. Evergreens should be planted in the early spring when the ground is still damp.

Successful planting can take place any time of the year; however, there are advantages and disadvantages to every season. Fall and winter planting require less watering and are less stressful on plants due to the fact that plants are entering dormancy. The availability of some types of plants, such as trees, is also at its peak in fall and winter. The warmer ground and wet weather of spring are also ideal for planting.

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.

For best results, choose at least a 5' tall tree. Select a site with enough room for roots and branches to reach full size, and don't forget to avoid overhead and underground utilities. Prepare the area by loosening the soil three to five times the diameter of the root-ball. Dig a hole in the middle set the root-ball even with the ground level. Then water the soil. If the tree will not stand up in the wind, stake it down.

How do I transplant a tree?

Broward County - Extension Education Division
Transplantation of any tree depends on its size, but there are several factors to keep in mind. First, use an Internet search engine to seek information on the species of tree you wish to transplant. Determine if it is a species that can be transplanted easily. For example, some palms do not transplant well once they have achieved a given trunk diameter. Be sure the root ball is well-formed. You will need to dig out from the trunk far enough to avoid cutting principal roots by accident.
