It is near winter...will your trees survive?

Yes, winter is knocking at our door.

You just planted some trees t his fall.

Now you are worried about  them surviving.

 

Well, per my tree farm expert, now is a great time to plant.

Make sure you dig the whole 1  1/2 times the size of the root ball on the tree.

Water the hole heavily, at least 5 gallons.

Put the tree in and fill the hole with fresh nutrient filled dirt.

Pack it firmly.

Stake the trees so they stay straight.  Water heavily until the ground freezes.

 

I did that with these 26-30 arborvitae's 2 years ago and all survived.

Advice was golden!

We lost a tree a couple of years ago. It was the severe cold that took it out.

Morning William.

My wife and I planted three trees, but we did it in the summer two years ago.  Never heard of planting them in the fall.  Interesting

Good morning William Feela - I have heard the same thing.  I should try it by replacing some dead shrubs now.

Good morning William. Terrific advice here. As the weather shifts it is hard to dig those wholes but it pays.

Interesting, William.  I would have guessed that fall was not the right time for planting trees.

I hope your newly planted trees make it through the winter.

We did not plant any trees this year.
