Transplanting a Tree

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Planting Trees

The best time to plant trees in Texas is typically during the fall or winter months, specifically from late October to early March. During this time, the weather is cooler and the soil is still warm, allowing newly planted trees to establish their roots before the onset of hot summer temperatures. However, it’s important to consider the specific needs of the tree species and local climate conditions when determining the optimal planting time.

When planting a tree near a structure, it’s crucial to consider the mature size of the tree and its root system to prevent potential damage. As a general guideline, small trees with a mature height of less than 30 feet should be planted at least 5 to 10 feet away from structures to allow for adequate root and canopy growth without causing interference. Medium-sized trees (30 to 70 feet tall) should be planted at least 15 to 20 feet away, while large trees (over 70 feet tall) may require a distance of 25 feet or more. Additionally, consider factors such as the tree’s growth habit, root spread, and potential for canopy overhang when determining planting distance. 

The duration for leaving stakes in place depends on the growth and stability of the newly planted tree. Generally, stakes should be left in place for at least one growing season to provide adequate support while the tree establishes its root system. However, it’s essential to monitor the tree regularly during this time and remove the stakes once the tree shows signs of being firmly anchored in the soil and can support itself without assistance. Leaving stakes in place for too long can restrict the natural movement and growth of the tree, potentially causing long-term damage. As a guideline, remove stakes within 6-12 months after planting, but adjust based on the tree’s individual progress and stability.
Wrapping the trunk of a newly planted tree is generally unnecessary and can even be detrimental in some cases. While wrapping may offer protection against sunscald, rodents, or mechanical damage, it can also create a favorable environment for pests and diseases, as well as inhibit the tree’s natural development and response to environmental conditions. In most situations, proper planting techniques, adequate watering, and mulching around the base of the tree are sufficient for promoting healthy growth and protecting the trunk. If wrapping is deemed necessary for specific circumstances, such as in areas with intense sun exposure or where deer or rodents pose a threat, it should be done loosely and removed after the first growing season to prevent long-term issues.
