Fall is the best time to plant native trees. It gives them an extra growing season before the stress of summer, and there’s no need to worry about young native trees surviving winter because they go dormant — the plant equivalent of hibernation.
Native trees are good garden additions because they are better equipped to handle Indiana weather conditions and don’t require fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, or watering once established.
They provide greater soil stability as well as food and habitat for native wildlife, including pollinators.
