Purchasing a tree is an investment. How well goes depends on the tree selected and the planting location, the care provided, and the follow-up care after planting.
When to Plant
Trees should be planted during the dormant season. Such as in the fall after leaf drop or in early spring before bud break. Weather conditions are cold and allow plants to establish roots before spring rains and summer heat stimulate new top growth. Healthy balled and burlap or container trees can be planted throughout the growing season if given appropriate care. In warm climates where trees grow year round any time is a good time to plant a tree.
Planting Stress
Balled and burlap trees lose a significant portion of their root system when dug at the nursery. As a result, trees commonly exhibit what is known as transplant shock. Transplant shock is a state of slowed growth and reduced vitality following transplanting. Container trees may also experience shock, particularly if they have circling or kinked roots that must be cut. Proper site preparation, careful handling to prevent further root damage, and good follow-up care reduces transplant shock and promotes faster recovery.
