Why Plant in the Fall?

There is a common misconception that fall is too late in the season to plant. Good news is… it’s all a myth! Fall is actually a great time to plant for many reasons.

  • The warm soil temperatures encourage root growth
  • The cooler weather helps prevent plants from getting stressed by the heat
  • The more consistent rain patterns help keep the soil moist
  • The plants aren’t expending as much energy producing blooms or growing foliage, so they’re able to use more of their energy building a strong root system
  • There is still plenty of time for their roots to get established before the winter season

Don’t let the skeptics scare you – You absolutely CAN plant in the fall! We even offer a one-year warranty for the purchase price on all of our trees and shrubs until October 1st. So stop out soon and check out the great selection our nursery has to offer! ????
