Fall is a great time for planting!

September through November is an ideal time to plant trees in Ohio. 

• The cooler weather is less stressful on trees. Due to fall rains, there is less maintenance involved in caring for the tree. They require less watering. Planting in the fall gives adequate time, from fall until summer, for roots to grow and become established before the hot summer weather. Even with cold temperatures, tree roots will continue to grow throughout the winter months, resulting in large root systems before the following summer.
