August- September 
Planting 
When August comes — I hen is I he lime for i)laiitiiig hailed 
and hurlapped .speciiucii evergreens with greatest success. 
Why? It is the season of root growth. Conifers and Broadleaf 
Evergreens have usually finished their normal top grmoth by August 
1st and then begins root activity. Sap action has slowed down 
above ground, except for a ripening process and bud making, but 
is doing double time below the surface. 
So August and early September have proved to be the one 
very best time for transplanling and eslublishing evergreens, 
including the 
Conifer Group 
Firs, Spruces, Hemlocks, Pines, Yews, Redcedars, Arborvitses and 
Cypress. 
Broadleaf Group 
Rhododendrons, Kahnias, Leucothoe, Rose Daphne, Leiophyllum, 
Andromedas, etc.
