To enjoy a beautiful flowering tree next spring, now is the right time to get your tree in the ground.
That’s because, as the days get cooler and shorter, trees go into a dormant state in the fall, said Alabama Power Line Clearing Specialist John Morris.
“Planting a tree when it is dormant allows the tree roots to get better established,” said Morris, who graduated from Auburn University in 2002 with a forestry degree. “This allows the tree to be better prepared for the stressful summer months.”Having trees around your property can provide a wind break – a great benefit as air grows ever cooler – while increasing air quality and adding to your home’s curb appeal.
