Here's a Shady Idea! Plant shade trees this fall!

 If you're tired of suffering though long, hot summers there's no better time to plant shade trees and plan for next years cooling effect than this fall!

There are so many benefits of planting shade trees for example, they add oxygen back into the air, they create beautiful visual screens and of course, they add color into your landscape! With so many benefits, every homeowner should have one or more!

The logic of  "Fall is for Planting" is especially true with shade trees because they enter a stage of dormancy, or as one would compare it to like a bear when it hibernates. Trees slow their growth functions and concentrate on building a strong root system which better supports the new foliage in spring. 

While many shade trees have green leaves during their primary growing season in spring and summer, they will no doubt surprise you with beautiful fall foliage with hues of oranges, yellows, reds and every shimmering color in between this palate of colors! 

What are the most popular shade trees?

Making the investment this fall is the best time to ensure a shady, cooler, more enjoyable summer next year and at terrific prices!

I love a really good maple tree for shade in the summer time and lots of nice colors in the fall. They also come in handy when thinking about Landscape Ideas for Backyards as they create a great feature piece in the middle of your yard.
