what to plant under a tree You are not stupid enough to want to set up a garden under a mature tree. It is natural for a gardener to close his eyes and turn the hard earth, rare weeds, and bud roots into a shady corner with hostas, astilps, and jack-in-the-pulpits. Nature is good when it comes to gardening. As with many endeavors, there is a right and wrong way to set up a garden under a tree. My training as a professional horticulturist has taught me that when planting under mature trees care is needed not to damage their roots.

 Learn why fall is the best time to plant trees Why do plant trees fall? Perhaps most importantly, autumn planting allows a tree a lot of time to establish its root system before winter. The roots begin to grow as soon as they touch the moist earth and continue to grow until the soil temperature is above 40 F (4 ° C). Then, when the first warm breath of spring finally coordinates the growth of new shoots, the autumn-planted tree is in place, with its roots already growing in the soil. More suitable for digging the soil in the fall than in the spring. In the fall, the heat of summer is enough to keep the soil moist, without dust, and crumbles most of the time - the perfect condition for digging planting holes. In addition, if you are in an area with high snowfall, you do not have to deal with all the frost (or resulting mud) if you plant in the fall.
