Late November and December are the best months for planting bare-root trees into the garden. These are trees that are field grown and lifted in the autumn when the leaves fall off; which this year is a little later than normal. The reason its good to plant now is because the soil is moist, but still reasonably warm which means that a newly planted tree will start to make root growth as soon as it is planted.

  • Good video. Important point is planting in the same level. If you plant it more deeply, the bottom of the tree trunk can start to rot.

  • Build wider not deeper.
