Tree planting Time!

Alright y’all — let’s talk trees 🌳

Here in Central Texas, fall and winter aren’t just for football, chili cook-offs, and arguing about whether 60° is “cold.” Nope — it’s actually the best time to plant trees!

Here’s why your shovel should come out when the sweaters do:

🌱 1. Cooler temps = less stress

Think of summer planting like running a marathon in August — you’d be wilted too! Fall and winter give young trees a break from that brutal Texas heat, so they can settle in and grow roots instead of fighting to survive.

🌳 2. Roots before shoots

During the cooler months, trees aren’t focused on growing leaves or flowers — they’re quietly building a strong root system underground. By the time spring rolls around, they’re ready to take off like a rocket.

 3. More rain, less babysitting

Mother Nature does some of the watering for you this time of year. That means less work (and less water bill) for you while your new trees get established.

🏡 4. Instant curb appeal, long-term comfort

Planting now means by next summer, you’ll already have a stronger, happier tree giving you shade, privacy, and a place to hang that hammock you keep talking about.

🌤️ 5. Texas-tough timing

Our winters are mild — we don’t have to worry about frozen ground like the folks up north. That gives us a longer planting window and a big advantage for strong, healthy growth.

So, if you’ve been dreaming of that shady oak, colorful redbud, or blooming vitex out front, now’s the time.

Planting in fall and winter isn’t just smart — it’s Texan smart.
