Posted on January 29th, 2016 in | Comments Off on When is the best time to plant trees?
The best time for planting trees is dependent on what type of tree is being planted. Most conservation tree plantings in Indiana are done with bare-root seedlings that may only be one or two years old. These seedlings should be planted in the spring. Depending on weather conditions, March to mid-May is the ideal time. Containerized seedlings can be planted in either spring or fall for most species.
