Time to Plant New Trees!!

The best time to plant any kind of tree, particularly deciduous types, is in the dornmant period between late October and March. Have the site chosen and prepared (well-worked soil with added organic matter and fertilizer) in advance, as young trees should be planted a soon as possible after delivery. When planting in turf, make sure the circle of planting area is sufficiently large to avoid any competition for nutrients and water with the surrounding grass.
Here is a good tip on how to plant a tree:

As a general rule, trees should be transplanted no deeper than the soil in which they were originally grown.  The width of the hole should be at least 3 times the diameter of the root ball or container or the spread of the roots in the case of bare root trees.  This will provide the tree with enough worked earth for its root structure to establish itself.
