ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – It’s starting to feel more like October with our first frost and freeze concerns for midweek.
And while a freeze is inevitable eventually, employees at Greenscape Gardens say it’s actually a celebration because many things can still go in the ground.
Looking at the bright side to the cooler temperatures, the experts at Greenscape Gardens say that while the air is getting colder the ground is still warm and cozy, making this the ideal time to plant trees and shrubs.
“So, fall’s a great time to get them in the ground. When we get those cooler night temperatures, it actually is pretty good for the roots. So, they get the signal from the plant to like, ‘Go ahead. You know, go ahead and start growing,’” Zach Berg, a certified arborist, said. “We get those in before winter, fantastic; (it) gives us a great spring, and then they’re already set up before summer. You know, they’re doing pretty good.”
