Seasonal Care for Trees and Shrubs in Northern U.S. Climates

This publication includes a poster and a magnet in calender form to show optimal seasons for different tree care activities.

The USDA Forest Service partnered with the University of Minnesota to create a chart showing the optimal seasons for planting, pruning and protecting woody plants.  A 22” by 28” poster and a magnet of the tree and shrub care activities is available to make the information most useful.  The posters are designed for professionals outside of the arboricultural industry who are responsible for tree care.
