Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to plant trees in Wisconsin?

Spring and fall are ideal for tree planting, thanks to cooler temperatures and reliable rainfall.

Many maples, oaks, and serviceberries thrive in heavy soils common to this area. For evergreens, white pine, white spruce, Norway spruce, and arborvitae are reliable choices—offering year-round beauty and resilience in Wisconsin’s climate.

Consistent watering and proper mulching are key to helping your new tree get established. Mulch helps retain moisture and protect roots, but keep it away from direct contact with the trunk. For pruning, only remove damaged or crossing branches during the first year. We’ll share detailed planting and care tips when you choose your tree.
