Trees do more than make your property look better. They are good for the environment, provide you with essential shade, and can even increase the overall value of your home. If you have been thinking about adding trees to your landscaping, ask your Tucson landscaping company which species make the most sense for your yard. By planting trees before the spring, you can have a full, lush yard by the time the weather warms up again. Read on to learn why the New Year is a great time to get new trees.

When to Plant Trees

In some parts of the country, the ground is frozen during the winter, making planting during this season virtually impossible. However, one of the many benefits of living in a warmer climate like Tucson’s is that you can plant new trees almost year-round. In order for your trees to look good in the springtime, they will need a bit of time to establish their roots. While fall is an ideal time to plant trees, your landscaping company may be able to advise you on species that can be planted in the late winter or early spring. That way, your trees can establish themselves before the hot summer temperatures arrive.

Which Trees to Plant

Some trees will do better when planted in the late winter than others. Bare root trees should be planted once the coldest parts of the winter are over. In Tucson, this is usually much earlier than in the rest of the country. If you opt for container trees, you have a bit more flexibility, as the roots are covered in burlap. Just give them enough time to establish their roots before the summer months arrive. For tree transplants, stick to younger varieties, as these tend to do better than mature trees when they are moved.
