Fall Planting Favorites

Fall is the most underrated planting season there is. Cooler air means less stress on a young tree and less watering for you, and the soil stays warm enough well into autumn for roots to get established. A tree planted in fall spends the season settling in instead of waiting in a pot, so when spring arrives it isn’t starting from scratch. It’s already anchored and ready to put that energy into growth while a spring-planted tree is still finding its footing.

Browse the trees and plants below to find what fits your space. If you want to know what your planting window looks like where you live, our zone finder will tell you. And every tree and plant we ship is backed by our 1-Year Survival Guarantee, so a fall planting is covered through its first winter and all the way to next fall.
