Booker states that Fall is a great time for planting trees and managing or enhancing your tree plans. This year offered some recovery from eight years of drought that can have ongoing impacts on long-lived perennial plants (i.e. trees). Symptoms visible on your trees are not recent (they can be from a year ago or more) so do not expect instant recovery. We can, however, offer the tree a good start on the recovery process for next year’s growing season. The recovery starts now with fall and winter plans and developing plans for next year. |
