Planting Trees in the Summer Heat – Tips for Success | Gardening with Creekside



Planting trees in the summer heat can be a challenging task for a gardener, but today I am sharing a few tips for success in getting your new trees well-adjusted to their new home. We are planting 4 new trees surrounding the chicken coop that will spring flowers, shade, fall color, and winter interest to this new garden area.

    Love seeing the progress of this area. Well, all the areas!

    Any chance you can please start a playlist for Momma's Gardens? It's great to reference shade gardens. They are amazing💚💚💚

    Thanks for all you do!

    Are the paperbark maple trees messy? I know you mentioned the bark peels. Do the peels fall off in the yard?

    Hey Jenny! I am an avid gardener in Central Virginia, zone 7a. I just planted 3 Blue Arrow Juniper and 1 Black Diamond Mystic Magenta crape myrtle this weekend (July 1 & 2) so your tree planting video is very timely. My question for you is about the B&B trees. My nursery who delivered the trees to me recommends to NOT remove the wire cages or it would void the warranty on the trees. I notice you and Jerry removed everything from around the root ball. For the junipers, the cage was removed but the burlap was cut away after placing the tree in the planting hole. We set the crape myrtle in the ground and then cut away as much of the cage and burlap as we could, out of fear the root ball would break apart had we removed the cage entirely. What are your thoughts on removing the cage, partially removing the cage, or leaving the cage around root balls when planting trees?
    I looked this issue up online and there are widely swinging opinions. One study performed in 1995 suggests that leaving the cage on creates no harm to the tree or its ability to thrive. Remember Garden Answer losing that beautiful Spruce and then discovering the wire cage in the ground after the storm felled her tree? That haunts me!! Previously I have had poor experiences with trees whose cages had not been removed. I didn't plant those trees; they were already planted when the house was bought but the trees later died. Also, replacement trees planted in the same spots with the cage left in the ground all died too, until the wire was removed from the ground. Are these instances simply anecdotal and most trees do fine with the wire cage?
    Please provide your thoughts as I respect your opinion and experience.

    We just planted a Downy serviceberry shrub that’s already 5’ with sprawling branches. The birds have found it already. We watered it in. Then it’s been raining for the past two weeks and more to come. I went out to make sure it wasn’t floating…looks good. Hope it makes it!
