What trees and shrubs should not be planted in autumn: remember for the rest of your life

In the fall, many gardeners are busy planting new plants.

Not every type of tree and shrub is suitable for planting in autumn, as there is a risk that some of them will not survive the winter.

Peach, apricot, almond and other heat-loving trees

These trees are very sensitive to frost and require a warm and dry climate, emphasizes the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.

If you plant them in the fall, there is a risk that the plants will not have time to develop a root system and may be susceptible to fungal diseases.

In addition, these trees have an early flowering period, and their flowers can be damaged by frost in the spring. Therefore, it is better to plant them in the spring, when the soil has already warmed up and there is no danger of night frosts.

Cherry, sweet cherry, plum and other stone fruit trees

These trees are also not recommended for autumn planting, as they have a weak root system and do not tolerate transplantation well.

Planting them in the fall may result in them not taking root. It is also worth noting that these trees bloom early, and the buds may freeze during spring cold snaps.

For this reason, it is preferable to plant them in the spring, when they enter the active vegetation phase and are able to more easily adapt to the new environment.

Wisteria, barberry, chestnut and other ornamental shrubs

These shrubs are also not suitable for autumn planting, as they have a long rooting period and require a warm and humid climate.

Planting them in the fall may result in them not having time to adapt to the new location and freezing in the winter.

In addition, these shrubs also have an early flowering period, and their flowers can suffer from spring frosts. Therefore, it is better to plant them in the spring, when they are already in the active growth phase and can develop better.

Conclusion

Not all trees and shrubs are suitable for fall planting. Some may not survive the winter.

Therefore, it is better to plant them in the spring, when they are already in the active growth phase and can better adapt to new conditions. This way, you will be able to enjoy their beauty and fruits for many years.
