Tree Plant. Autumn is usually the best time to plant new trees or tree seedlings, when the weather is cool but before the ground freezes. If the roots look like they’re drying out, lightly spray them with water to keep them moist.
For burlapped trees, place the root ball in the hole and gently cut away the wire basket and burlap. Whatever your occasion, be a part of growing the national forest into a place people and nature can thrive. To plant a tree the right way, you’ll want to dig a big enough hole to plant it in.
