Fall is an ideal time to consider adding trees to your garden. It also happens to be one of the best planting windows, giving roots a head start before summer heat kicks in.
I can’t tell you the perfect tree for every site, but I can offer the kinds of questions and considerations that lead to better decisions, both aesthetically and horticulturally.
In this episode, I walk through the criteria I use to select and place trees in a design, and I encourage you to look beyond the usual suspects.
We’ll explore how to assess your site, lean on design principles, and think through four-season performance so that your tree supports the bigger picture of your garden for years to come.
If you’re feeling unsure about where to begin, this episode will give you a solid starting place.
If this episode helped you think differently about how to choose a tree, share it with someone who’s planning their next garden move.
Until next time, I hope you find something in your garden to truly relish.
