THE LEAFLET

As we move into the care season, we eagerly await spring’s planting season – a time of renewal and growth. If you don’t currently have trees, or if you’ve been considering adding more to your yard, now is the perfect opportunity to make it happen.

Let’s face it, one of the small but undeniable joys of the holiday season is treating yourself while shopping for others. This year, why not choose a gift that will transform your home, benefit the environment, and bring beauty and value to your community for decades to come? Gifting yourself a tree for the new year is not only thoughtful but also incredibly rewarding.

While winter and summer are crucial times for tree care, spring and fall are nature’s perfect planting seasons, offering distinct advantages for establishing new trees. These seasons provide cooler weather, which is essential for reducing the stress on young trees as they settle into their new homes. During these times, trees face less competition from the scorching heat of summer, allowing their roots to develop and grow more effectively. Cooler temperatures also reduce evaporation, meaning trees can retain the moisture they need to thrive without requiring constant watering. Together, these conditions create an ideal environment for trees to grow strong and healthy.

As the clock ticks toward spring, it’s important to act quickly. Our planting schedule fills up fast, and the earlier you apply, the better chance you’ll have of securing your spot for a spring planting. Waiting too long could mean missing this spring’s planting window, leaving you to wait until fall 2025 to enjoy the benefits of a new tree in your yard. Applying now ensures that your tree will have the opportunity to take root and flourish during an optimal growing season, giving you a head start on years of enjoyment and environmental impact.

By planting a tree this spring, you’re not just enhancing your yard – you’re making a lasting investment in your home and quality of life. Trees provide countless benefits, from cooling shade in the summer to vibrant blooms and stunning foliage throughout the year. They can reduce your energy costs by keeping your home cooler in the warmer months, improve air quality, and even increase the value of your property. Beyond your own yard, your tree will contribute to the beauty and sustainability of your entire neighborhood, providing habitats for birds and pollinators while helping to combat the urban heat island effect.

There’s no better time than now to give yourself the gift of a tree. Don’t miss this opportunity to transform your yard, boost your property’s curb appeal, and contribute to a greener, healthier environment.
