When is the best time of year to plant trees?

Fall is the best time to plant trees. The temperatures are milder during the day and cooler at night and the soil temperatures are still warm enough to encourage root growth. You may plant trees in the spring, but they may experience stress due to high temperatures and lack of rainfall.
