Gardenbite: Fall Tree Planting |

Many of us skipped planting trees this spring to avoid damage from periodical cicadas. But now that we’re approaching fall, we have an opportunity to plant some trees. Our Gardenbite for this week goes back to 2022, when we had a conversation with Emily Swihart about fall tree planting. We discussed what trees can be planted in the fall, things to consider when planting trees, how to plant and care for trees, and more!
00:55 - We commonly hear fall is a good time to plant trees. Is this true? Why or why not?
03:27 - What are some things we need to consider when planting trees?
07:19 - What do we mean by a tree is planted too deep?
09:20 - Should we amend the planting hole? Digging the planting hole.
12:20 - Should burlap and wire cages be removed from ball and burlap trees?
15:25 - Should newly planted trees be staked?
20:29 - After planting care
24:47 - Wrap-up, thank you, and goodbye!

Thank you!! I was just going to email you both a question about planting some bushes, and the care of some tiny Swamp Oak trees. I’m good now. Appreciate you reading my mind.
