When to Plant Trees in North Carolina?
Spring and fall are great seasons for planting North Carolina trees. For the warmer parts of North Carolina you can plant most trees just about anytime of year. Take care to offer plenty of water when planting in summer. The cooler parts of the state can plant almost anytime as long as the ground isn’t frozen. North Carolina trees that are sensitive to low temperatures should not be planted in winter. Trees that prefer cooler temperatures and get stressed by heat and drought should not be planted in summer.
When to Prune Trees in North Carolina?
Winter or early spring when trees are dormant (or resting as in the case of evergreen trees) is the best time to prune most North Carolina trees. However, spring blooming trees should be pruned once their bloom period has ended. Fall when temperatures are cool and trees are beginning to slow down their metabolic processes is also a good time for pruning North Carolina trees. Minor pruning can be done anytime of the year. Broken, dead, or diseased branches should be removed when you notice them regardless of the time of year.
