Establishing Trees and Shrubs
How long does it take for a newly planted tree or shrub to become established?
New Trees
Assuming that a newly planted tree is healthy when planted and is given proper care during the first year of its life; it will normally become established in that first year. Smaller trees will become established faster than larger trees. After establishment the tree should not need additional fertilizer or water.
New Shrubs
If you have purchased a healthy shrub, planted it correctly and taken care of it in the first months of its life, the plant should become established in about six (6) months.
