📅 Recommended Planting Dates by State
Below is a helpful map that shows recommended planting times based on your state. Be sure to follow these timelines for the best results!
🌿 Why Timing Matters:
Planting during the recommended time frame gives your tree the best chance to thrive. Here's why:
-
✅ Root Establishment: Trees need time to develop a strong root system before facing temperature extremes—whether it's summer heat or winter freeze.
-
✅ Reduced Stress: Trees planted too early or too late may struggle with transplant shock due to poor soil conditions, frost damage, or heat stress.
-
✅ Better Survival Rates: Following the proper planting window increases the odds of your tree surviving and thriving in its first critical year.
-
✅ Dormancy Advantage: Planting while a tree is still dormant (before leaves emerge) helps reduce transplant stress and allows energy to go straight to root growth.
🌟 Tip: If you're planting in spring, aim to plant early—before trees break dormancy. If you're planting in fall, plant at least 4–6 weeks before your ground typically freezes.
