Ken Lain the Top 10 Gardener here! Planting shade trees like birch and aspen can transform your backyard into a cool, inviting retreat.
These trees are more drought-hardy than you think! Once established, give them a deep soak once a week; this is perfect for aspens too. Overwatering can suffocate roots, causing rot, so avoid watering every day.
Healthy trees have vibrant, white roots, a sign they are active and taking in nutrients efficiently. This is the best time to plant shade trees, with a wide selection available. Whether you choose an instant tree or a smaller one, there’s plenty of growth season left.

Happy planting!
