January is a great time to plant trees, and a busy season for our team installing them in our Olmsted Park System! In the winter months when trees are dormant, they can put all their energy into establishing a strong root system, rather than working on roots and leaves at the same time. Trees also require less irrigation in the colder seasons.
Our favorite tree species are native to our area and provide habitat for wildlife while adding beauty for park visitors. Interested in planting a tree on your property, or working with us to have a tree planted in a park in honor of a loved one? Here is a list of some of our favorite tree species:
Canopy Trees:
Oak
Tulip
Elm
Sycamore
Understory Trees
Paw Paw
Redbud
Dogwood
Buckeye
Shrubs:
Spicebush
Coralberry
