Plant a tree in cool weather: The ideal time to plant a tree is in the evening. The weather should not be blazing hot. Because, if you plant a tree when it is really hot, your tree may be damaged. It may wither. The ideal season is in fall or early spring. If you live in tropical climates, any time is a good time to plant your tree. However, you can still need to properly care your tree. You should also carefully transport your tree to prevent damage.
Reduce the root: If you are planting a tree with bare root, you should cut down the root by ninety to ninety five percent of its original size. It can reduce transplant shock.
