Can I Plant Now?

Great Question! September days are still hot but nights are beginning to chill down. Yes you can plant now - as long as you can commit to the watering requirements of your newly planted tree or shrub. Generally a new planting requires watering 2-3 times per week. Winter watering is also required at least once monthly to prevent the plants root system from drying out.
