Fall planting allows your trees, shrubs and perennials to establish a good root system during more moderate temperatures. That translates to less stress for the plants and less work for you! Work in our compost for clay or sandy soils, and add some Espoma Bio-tone. Learn the proper way to plant trees and shrubs.
