Trees Questions

What trees grow well in St. Augustine?+

Live oaks, magnolias, crepe myrtles, and many other shade and flowering trees grow well in Zone 9b when given room for their mature size.

How far from my house should I plant a tree?+

Space trees by their mature canopy width, and keep large shade trees well away from the house, septic, and power lines.

When is the best time to plant a tree here?+

Fall and winter are ideal so roots can establish before summer heat, though container trees can be planted year round with regular water.

How do I care for a newly planted tree?+

Water deeply and regularly through the first year so roots establish, keep mulch a few inches off the trunk, and avoid heavy pruning until the tree settles in.

How do I pick the right tree for my yard?+

Start with the mature size and the space, then match sun, soil, and whether you want shade, flowers, or screening. Bring photos and our team can help you choose.
