Summer is Over. Fall-ing temperatures are here and Tree Planting Season Has Begun!

As the fall season arrives in Texas, it's the perfect time to start thinking about planting trees! With cooler temperatures, the fall months provide ideal conditions for tree roots to establish and thrive before the heat of summer returns. Planting now gives trees the chance to grow strong and healthy, making them more resilient in the long run.

Whether you're adding shade to your yard, increasing your edible harvest, enhancing your landscape, or contributing to the environment, choosing native Texas trees will ensure they’re well-suited to the local climate. Not sure what to get? See Will the Plant Guy or Leesalyn, a Master Gardener, who can help guide you from choosing the right tree to knowing the steps to planting and caring for them. So grab your shovels and start planting—your future shade, beauty, and environmental impact begin this season!
