Tree planting in Portland, OR starts well before the tree goes in the ground: species selection, site prep, and planting depth all shape how well it establishes.

Tree planting questions

Not covered here? Call 1-360-836-9363 or ask an expert.

When is the best time to plant a tree in the Portland area?

Fall and early spring are ideal for most species in Oregon, with fall (October through November) usually the best window. Cooler temperatures and winter rain help roots establish before summer heat.

How deep should a new tree be planted?

At the correct depth, with the root flare (where the trunk widens as it meets the soil) visible at the soil surface. Finish with two to three inches of organic mulch, kept away from the trunk.

Can you help me choose the right tree for my property?

Yes. We can recommend species matched to your soil, sun, space, and goals, so the tree suits the site for decades instead of outgrowing it.
