Planting practices for strong root growth in fall
Fall planting favors root growth as cooler weather lowers top growth and water needs. Before planting, evaluate site conditions, perform a soil test, select appropriate plants, amend soil, and plant with oversized holes to encourage root expansion. Properly prepared soil and careful handling promote drought and pest resistance and long term vigor.
