SUPER SEVEN - THE BEST TREES TO POT FOR AUTUMN

Autumn is the perfect time to plant trees. The increased rain fall helps to establish root systems. As the air temperature drops below the soil temperature, top growth stops allowing a stronger root system to grow in preparation for the following spring. Trees greatly benefit from this and are easier to care for if planted in autumn or winter and need less watering than those planted in spring or summer. Many garden centers only offer Bare-root and root balled trees and shrubs in autumn. MAKE A TREE FEATURE Trees make a feature in planters in gardens of all sizes.
