Tips to Help You During the Best Time to Plant Trees in Colorado
Tree planting can be tricky and if you don’t do it correctly your trees might not survive the process. This is not something you have to do on your own, if you don’t have time, don’t have the experience or just want to learn from the experts, call us and ask about our tree services in and around Denver.
Since this is the Best Time to Plant Trees in Colorado, here are 6 very useful tips to help you plant your trees properly:
Now until Mid June is the best time to plant in Colorado
• Plant the top of the root ball slightly above ground level. The root collar must be visible one inch above final grade.
• Set root ball on solid ground and not on loose backfill in the hole; this will eliminate settling.
• Remove at least the top 1/2 of all wire and baskets from balled and burlapped trees and completely remove containers from containerized stock.
• Adding peat moss or manure to soil in the planting hole is not necessary. (Too much can cause a “potted tree” effect and restrict root growth.) Backfill hole with original soil.
• Do not fertilize at planting time.
• Optimum planting periods are from March 15 to June 15, so you’re right on time to start!
