The best time to plant a tree?

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is today..so said a wise guy. So virtually every "good" day is ideal for planting. No Matter, whether it is World Environment Day or not.

But show good care in chosing the "right" species. What is your real motive to plant ? If it is to provide shade, choose a species which will have an evergreen canopy. So like wise, the choice of species varies depending on your end objective.

the tree seedling you are planting today is small..but in years to come, it will become a huge one. So plan well in advance. Make sure that it is planted in the right place and is given sufficient space to grow out-both the shoot and roots!.

After planting make sure that it is protected and nurtured. Most people dont do this caring. Care well for the seedlings that you plant. Make sure that it grows well and unleash a "Green Umbrella" overhead.
