In the fall, trees can be planted until the ground is frozen solid. If a spade can be inserted into the ground, it’s okay to plant. If it has already snowed, test the soil. If it’s too dry or too wet, don’t plant. The soil should have enough moisture to easily crumble in your hand.
When you plant, mulch around the base of the tree at least 2 inches away from the trunk with wood chips, straw, or other material. Because the plants we ship are dormant and not actively growing, the colder air temperatures will not harm the trees.
