Seattle reLeaf (More...)

http://www.seattle.gov/trees/

The cool temperatures and ample rain make fall the best time to plant trees. Trees appear dormant during fall and winter; however, they are putting down new roots to help them get established in their new homes. The new roots absorb water and nutrients that prepare the tree for new growth in the spring. So take advantage of the soft soil and plentiful rain and plant a tree this fall, and don't forget to start watering again when temperatures rise in the spring and soils dry out - typically around May or June.
