DIY Planting
What is the best time to plant trees in Winnipeg?
The best time for planting trees is late winter or early spring as long as the tree is 'dormant'. Trees transplanted in the summer experience shock and stress due to the hot weather which is why it is not recommended to plant at this time. Sadly in Winnipeg, the best tree selection is available during the summer.
Dormant means the tree is between growing seasons. When a deciduous tree loses its leaves, or before buds begin to turn into leaves, it is dormant. Evergreens are dormant during the winter months even though they do not lose their 'foliage' (leaves).
Deciduous = A tree that loses it leaves in fall.
Coniferous = A tree that stays green all year round (evergreen).
After you plant your tree(s):
A good start for your trees means you water them thoroughly after planting. Watering trees properly in fall is also very important.
