Autumn Planting- Trees, Shrubs & Plants
As summer winds down and autumn arrives, many think it's time to pause their garden projects—but this season is actually a prime opportunity to enhance your garden. At R J White Arboreal, we are experts in ensuring that your outdoor space thrives year-round. Whether you're looking to add new trees, shrubs, or vibrant perennials, autumn planting is the secret to giving your garden a head start for the following spring.
Why Autumn is the Perfect Time to Plant Autumn’s cooler temperatures and still-warm soil provide the perfect conditions for tree and shrub planting. This season promotes strong root establishment, helping plants to settle in before the cold winter months. Key reasons why autumn is ideal for planting include:
- Better Root Establishment: The warm soil encourages root growth while cooler air reduces stress on new plants.
- Ample Moisture: With increased rainfall, plants can access the water they need without competing with the heat of summer.
- Dormancy Preparation: Trees and shrubs begin to enter their natural dormancy, focusing on root growth, which prepares them for a strong spring performance.
What to Plant in Autumn
Here at R J White Arboreal, we recommend focusing on a mix of trees, shrubs, and perennials that thrive when planted in the autumn:
1. Trees and Shrubs For year-round structure and beauty, autumn is a fantastic time to plant deciduous trees such as Japanese maples and oak, as well as hardy shrubs like hydrangeas and viburnum. These will settle in over winter and burst into growth in spring.
2. Perennials Autumn is perfect for adding perennial flowers like rudbeckias, asters, and sedums. These plants will bloom in late summer or early autumn next year, adding lasting beauty to your garden.
3. Spring-Flowering Bulbs Don’t forget to plant bulbs like tulips, daffodils, and crocuses now to enjoy a stunning display of colour in spring.
