Spring is not the only time to plant trees.  Consider these four reasons why it is a good idea to consider planting in autumn:

• Unlike a tree’s branches, its roots continue to elongate during winter.
• By helping roots establish over winter, tree growth will have a head start when warm weather arrives.
• After planting and initial watering, you probably will not have to worry about water again until summer.
• Many nurseries offer bargain prices on trees at this time of year.
