As a homeowner, you may be looking for ways to improve the curb appeal of your property and increase its value. While adding flowers and plants is an excellent start, have you considered tree planting? Up your landscape game with the following information from T & L Tree and Landscape in Macedon, New York, about the best time for planting.

Geography plays a pivotal role in tree survival during the months that follow planting. If you plant a tree during the wrong temperature and moisture conditions, your efforts may be wasted. If you live in the Northeastern U.S., consider tree planting in the fall. At this time of year, trees know not to waste energy on creating new leaves or needles and will instead work on rooting before colder temperatures hit. Then, in the warmer weather, you’ll notice the tree bloom.

You may also consider tree planting in the spring. This will allow your new tree to adjust to the climate while rooting and growing upward and outward. Springtime planting allows plenty of opportunities for development before harsh winter weather sets in. 

The best way to ensure your trees have a strong chance of survival after planting is to purchase those grown from seedlings in your local climate. They will be better adjusted and equipped to handle the season and all its changes. Also, follow the nursery’s instructions on watering and fertilizing, as nutrition will dictate whether or not your new tree will thrive.

By adding trees to your yard, you can enjoy beautiful foliage, spring flowers, and pleasant areas of shade. They can also bring points of interest to your landscape and boost your home’s value.
