“WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

beautiful weather and get our hands into the dirt. We all become
like kids in the back seat of a car asking “are we there yet?” We

that “we are there!” Very often in the nursery t business people are

or shrub to a new location. First of all planting and transplanting
are two totally different things. Planting is simply taking any
_tree, shrub, perennial, or annual that was previously living in a
container, pot, or basket and placing it in a hole and backfilling
around the roots. Transplanting is digging a plant out of the

out. of the. year, providing you can chip your way through the.
frost layer.. | know that everyone just did a double take, but think .
about it, if a plant is hardy for our zone, it is hardy for cur zone. It

fall because you don’t have to water and by spring they are well
established. The exceptions are annuals, vegetables, and lawn
_ seed. Annuals and vegetables can’t.take the frost or not much
of it any way so they should be planted at around the end of
May. Lawn seed needs a soil temperature of about 55 degrees to
germinate, so seeding too early is a waste of seed. So besides .

Transplanting is a totally different thing. You are taking a
tree, shrub, or perennial out of the ground in one location and
replanting it in another location. When you remove a plant from
the ground you.do a lot of damage to the root system. The roots
are the life support of a plant. During the spring and summer
~ month's plants are busy growing. Disturbing the plant during this
time when it is depending heavily on this root system will likely kill
the plant. Plants need time to adjust, just like people. Stressing
it out during its busy season is just too much for it. Transplanting
is best done in the dormant season, roughly October - March,
That way when the plant breaks dormancy it will stimulate new
. root growth to compensate for the damaged ones.
If you have anymore questions feel free to stop and ask. We
are always available to help.
