Q: How do I know if a tree is right for my area?

• <div><p>Consulting your local university extension, Audubon society, or municipal urban forestry program are all good ideas when choosing a tree to plant. You can also ask an arborist or a knowledgeable landscaping company for advice on good trees to plant.</p></div>

Q: What is the rule of thumb for planting trees?

• <div><p>Multiple rules of thumb exist when discussing tree planting. When planting a tree, the best rule of thumb is to provide it with everything it needs to survive and thrive in its new environment. That may mean learning about the type of tree you're planting and studying the best methods of taking care of it before purchasing and planting. </p></div>

Q: Can you use too little mulch?

• <div><p>Yes, it is possible to add too little mulch. Anything less than 1 inch will likely result in too little coverage around your plants, allowing weeds to grow through and minimizing the positive effects that a deeper bed of mulch would have, like maintaining proper soil moisture and insulating the ground.</p></div>

Q: What if I can’t plant my branch right away?

• <div><p>Don&rsquo;t worry if there&rsquo;s a gap between cutting and planting an ideal branch. You can still cut the perfect branch when you see it. If you can&rsquo;t get it in a pot or water right away, put it in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator. When you&rsquo;re ready to finish the process, make a fresh cut.</p></div>

Q: When is the best time to plant?

• <div><p>The best time to plant is between spring and autumn. Springtime weather is typically mild and is when nurseries start to bloom. When the summer weather arrives and it&rsquo;s hot out, it&rsquo;s best to avoid planting bare-root plants, but you can still plant many in-container varieties. The first sign of fall is another great opportunity to plant biennials if you live in southern states, or a lovely vegetable garden up north.</p></div>
