When is the best time to plant new trees and shrubs in Florida?
Fall rains combined with cooler air temperatures and warm soil temperatures help new plants get established. This is the best time for planting trees, shrubs and flowering bulbs. Be sure to check with a landscape reference manual to determine what species grow best in your area. Not all palms can be grown throughout the state. Develop a landscape plan, or have a professional create one for you. Either way, fall is a great time of the year to start, enhance or redo your landscape, and improve the exterior appeal of your home.
