Autumn planting tips
Morigan Albatraoz, Nursery Manager at Community Roots, explains “fall is a good time for planting because as the weather begins to cool, some plants will start to grow or root again. Cooler temps also make it a lot easier to make sure plants are getting enough water after being transplanted.
In contrast, when transplanting during the hottest months, plants will frequently use up water as fast as they are getting it. Our hot dry winds can make plants use up water even faster.
Autumn’s cooler weather keeps plants from drying out so quickly, and that’s important because roots will only grow into moist soil. During the fall, plants tend to start putting energy into rooting and trunk growth so planting during the fall aligns with natural processes.”
