When and How to Plant Your Fast Growing Trees
Generally, you should plant the Fastest Growing Trees in early spring or fall. However, you can plant in pots to stay on the porch or move indoors nearly any time of year!
Specific planting directions for each pick will depend on the variety you choose, but first, ensure you're buying for proper growing zones. Other than that, the most important factors for your Fastest Growing Trees are sunlight and watering needs.
From there, the actual planting process is simple. Find an area with the proper sunlight and well-drained soil. Then, dig a hole large enough to accommodate your tree’s root ball (with some room to grow), place your tree and backfill the soil. Finally, water the surrounding soil to settle your plant’s roots and mulch to conserve moisture.
