Tree Montgomery plants through the fall, winter, and spring. We stop planting on May 1st each year and start again on October 15th. This gives the newly installed trees the best chance of survival. However, it gives us a limited window to plant. Further, the planting schedule is subject to winter weather, location within the County, and availability of species.
If you complete the process and sign your access agreement in June, most likely your new trees will be planted in the fall. If you sign the access agreement in the fall or winter, we will make every effort to plant before the following May.

Aftercare is the ongoing maintenance of trees, shrubs, and other plants during the first several years after planting to help give them a good start.
If the deer protection comes off or breaks during the first several years be sure to keep the trunk protected. The deer protection is no longer needed when the stem of the tree is more than 3 inches wide.
