🌳It’s National Arbor Day, but in Texas, we celebrate a little differently.

While Arbor Day is recognized nationwide in the spring, Texas observes Arbor Day in November.

Planting in the fall gives trees time to establish strong roots during cooler temperatures and more consistent moisture. Those roots continue to develop through winter, helping trees better withstand the heat and dry conditions of a Texas summer.

If you plant in April, a young tree only has a short window before facing extreme heat. Planting in November gives it time to get established and grow stronger before summer arrives.

If you're planning to plant a tree, timing matters🌱
