Give Your Landscape a Head Start: Plant This Fall
Planting trees and shrubs in the fall is one of the best choices you can make for your Eastern Idaho landscape. The cooler temperatures and increased soil moisture reduce stress on new plants, allowing roots to establish strong systems before winter sets in. Since the soil stays warmer longer than the air, roots keep growing even after the leaves have fallen, giving your trees and shrubs a head start for spring. By the time next growing season arrives, your plants will be healthier, hardier, and better prepared to handle Idaho’s hot summers and cold winters. Plus, fall planting often means less watering for you and a quicker return on the beauty and benefits your new trees and shrubs provide.
