Fall is for Planting!
Act now, our season is almost over...
By Chris Leinster - September 19, 2024
Hot air balloons lingered in the sky in the early morning hours above rural Longmont as I headed up to load the day’s trees for planting. I noticed farmers hard at work harvesting corn, pumpkins, and other assorted crops as I traveled along highway 287. The pumpkin patches were stacking hay bales and cutting corn mazes readying for the trick-or-treaters soon to swarm small farms for the autumn celebrations. Fall is upon us, and Fall is for planting trees!
It’s a great time to plant. Temperatures are cooler, we’re receiving more precipitation, and stocks are being replenished with Fall dug trees. Trees still have time to root in before the ground freezes, where they will then overwinter and “wake up” in the Spring with vigorous new growth.
Trees are getting harder to come by, and some of the nurseries are fairly depleted from high demand over the Summer. Happy Trees shops from wholesale nurseries up and down the Front Range, so we can usually source the best available trees from Colorado’s most reputable nurseries.
Pine and Spruce, which have been difficult to find all Summer, are finally starting to arrive. Container grown Pear, Hackberry, and Linden are plentiful, and looking fantastic! If you’re looking for a tree to plant this Fall, Happy Trees can find, deliver, and plant the best trees available.
Snow is already teasing Colorado’s highest peaks, and the Aspen are beginning to turn color at the highest elevations. Happy Trees plants successfully through October, and then will shutter our doors until trees begin arriving next Spring. Now is the time to call if you’re ready to decorate your yard with trees that will grace your yard for generations to come.
