The best time to plant a new shade tree in Chattanooga isn't next spring, it's right now.
Cooler air temperatures let roots settle into the soil for months before summer heat puts any stress on a young tree, which builds a stronger root system before the tree has to handle its first hot season.
Native species like oaks and maples consistently handle Chattanooga's clay soil better than non native varieties, and choosing the right species and planting depth makes the difference between a tree that thrives for decades and one that struggles from the start.
A proper site assessment before planting, checking soil drainage, sun exposure, and root space, sets a new tree up to last well beyond its first few years in the ground.
