While spring is a popular planting season, fall may be the best time to plant. Fall planting can help woody ornamental plants survive in the landscape. In fall, plant shoots need fewer nutrients because winter dormancy is approaching. In fall too, carbohydrate plant “food” is produced in leaves and moves to roots, which helps plant growth and survival. Importantly, roots continue to grow until soil temperatures drop below 45-50 F (7-10 C). It is extremely important to water when planting in fall because October and November are usually very dry months with little rainfall. But fallplanted plants also will not …

En otoño, los brotes necesitan menos nutrientes porque se está acercando el estado latente del invierno. También, en otoño, los carbohidratos que sirven como “comida” para la planta, son transportados de las hojas, donde fueron producidos, a las raíces. Esto ayuda al crecimiento y supervivencia de la planta. Las raíces continúan creciendo hasta que la temperatura del suelo baje a más de 45°-50° F (de 7°-10° …
