If you haven’t noticed yet, fall foliage has already started to pop up throughout our region.  Leaves are beginning to get early gold and red tinges, and the chilly morning air really is getting that lovely fall smell.

Fall this year however, has come a bit early. Foliage typically peaks mid-October and lasts through early November, but the dry weather we’ve had has sparked the change early.

Though we instruct folks on how to properly water their trees/shrubs in the first year, one thing to heed especially during this time is caring for young trees. The dry conditions can be quite hard on them, so staying on top of watering is very important.

Although Mother Nature is ahead of the game, you can too with a little extra TLC to ensure happy trees.  Until then, sit back and enjoy the early fall colors!
