Spring and fall are the best seasons for planting B&B trees, especially if you live in Texas. In the fall, tree planting is safe until the ground freezes after the initial hard frost.
Spring planting is also viable, with tree roots thriving when soil temperatures are at or above 50°F. Spring provides consecutive days with suitable soil temperatures, optimizing root establishment.
However, the most favorable time to plant B&B trees revolves around the last spring freeze. This is to avoid potential growth impacts from late freezes.
Water the plant well, adjusting the frequency based on soil type, plant needs, and seasonal variations. Extra watering, even with a sprinkler system, is often necessary during the summer
