<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhen Is the Best Time To Plant Trees?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Every tree expert recommends planting trees<\/a> in the fall. For starters, the temperatures are mild and the soil isn\u2019t too dry. What\u2019s more, with California\u2019s mild winters, you won\u2019t have to worry about freezing temperatures once the season ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Besides the favorable conditions, most trees go into dormancy during fall. By planting them at this time, you allow for better root establishment. This is because most trees drop their leaves, meaning the roots and leaves won\u2019t have to compete with each other for resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While fall is, hands down, the best time to do so, can you plant trees in the summer as well? Absolutely! You just have to take a few precautions when doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why? During summer, your trees will focus a lot of their energy on photosynthesis. This doesn\u2019t leave much energy for them to establish a proper root system. Without a strong anchor, your trees\u2019 longevity will be compromised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fortunately, there\u2019s a way around this. Here\u2019s how to make sure your summer planting ends up a success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you plant the tree, avoid covering the roots\u2019 crown. One way to do this is to plant more shallowly. When you leave the roots\u2019 crown exposed, they will find it easier to grow down and outward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every young tree needs water, but all the more so if you decide to plant your trees in summer. This is why it\u2019s vital to maintain a proper watering schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the first few weeks, water your tree deeply daily. Afterwards, water the tree two or three times a week. Doing so enables your tree\u2019s roots to grow deep<\/a> and establish themselves properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the challenges of planting your trees in the summer is preventing the soil from drying out. Adding a layer of mulch can help you retain soil moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just remember never to pile up your mulch layer against the tree. Instead, leave about an inch or so between the pile and your tree\u2019s trunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Can you plant trees in the summer? While not ideal, you can certainly do so. If done incorrectly, though, you can cause heat stress and transplant shock.
