A lot of customers have currently been asking these questions.

It's so hot. How should I be watering my new trees/shrubs?

Please review your watering schedule in these times of extreme weather.

Click Here for the Watering Guide. It is very hard to over water your tree during these heat waves...possible, but very hard. If you miss a watering, your tree will show you: droopy or yellow leaves means it needs more water! If you miss a few watering sessions, it can cause trouble. With proper watering, your trees/shrubs will be just fine and continue to thrive in the heat.

When is it ok to plant a tree? Is this a good/bad time?

Planting trees this time of year is still perfectly fine.

We are selling and planting trees everyday and it's entirely okay! When someone tells you this is a bad time to plant trees, typically they do not understand the difference between transplanting and replanting. The trees we sell fall under the REPLANTING category and are already dug and above ground, ready to be planted at anytime. We pre-dig in the "safe season" so that planting is possible for many months during the year. Think about this: Barring a lack of water, wouldn't a tree be happier in the ground with you, rather than in a bag or bucket at our place? =) In opposition, TRANSPLANTING is the act of digging an existing tree out of the ground and then replanting it. This is usually only advised for specific, cooler, parts of the year as the survival rate of such trees can be dramatically lessened. If you have any questions in regards to this topic please ask us!

We also offer guides for planting and watering that reflect the seasonal changes. If you find something that is unclear, or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us by phone, email, or through our “contact us” link.

CreekSide sells BIG TREES, but we also have the regular or smaller-sized trees many of you are looking for. Trees need to be thought of as an investment, but with that said, we are still highly competitive with our pricing. More Tree for Less Money.
