You have probably heard the old saying “Fall is for planting.” It’s an annual reminder to homeowners and gardeners in the Lehigh Valley and beyond that this season is the perfect time to plant trees and shrubs. But have you ever wondered why this is so? Well, for starters:

• With slower leaf and flower production in the Fall, plants allocate their energy to root generation and growth as long as soil temperatures remain warm, so they establish themselves better in your landscaping.
• With shorter days and slow (or no) leaf production, less water is required by the tree or shrub.
• Rain and snow melt will give your trees a great start for Spring.
• There will be less stress on plants due to cooler temperatures.
• You can often reap theh benefits of Fall color before plants go dormant.
• Plants fare better because they have two growing seasons, Fall and then Spring, before they get hit with harsh Summer heat.
• Plantique’s Fall schedule is less busy than in Spring, so schedule backlogs are shorter and installations are done sooner.
