Planting a Tree
Planting a tree is a lifelong investment.
How well this investment grows depends on the type of tree selected and the planting location,
the care provided during planting, and the follow-up care after planting.
Getting your new tree off to a healthy start will help the tree mature to its full size and ensures it will
provide environmental, economic, and social benefits throughout its lifetime.
When to Plant
Ideally, trees are planted during the dormant season – in the fall after leaf drop or in early spring before budbreak.
Weather conditions are cool and allow plants to establish roots in the new location before spring rains
and summer heat stimulate new top growth.
Healthy balled and burlapped or container trees, however, can be planted throughout the growing season if given appropriate care.
In tropical and subtropical climates where trees grow year round, any time is a good time to plant a tree,
provided that sufficient water is available.

Trees are vital.
As the biggest plants on the planet, they give us oxygen, store carbon,
stabilise the soil and give life to the world’s wildlife.
They also provide us with the materials for tools and shelter.
Not only are trees essential for life, but as the longest living species on earth,
they give us a link between the past, present and future.
It’s critical that woodlands, rainforests and trees in urban settings, such as parks,
are preserved and sustainably managed across the world.
