Topic: Fall season


  
  Encyclopedia: Fall (season)
Autumn, often called fall in North America, is one of the four temperate seasons, the transition between summer and winter.
Either definition, as with those of the seasons generally, is flawed because it assumes that the seasons are all of the same length, and begin and end at the same time throughout the temperate zone of each hemisphere.
Fall foliage tourists are often referred to as "leaf peepers".

 Greenline-Fall Planting of Trees & Shrubs
Fall planting can be successful as long as the planting season is not extended too late into the fall, if difficult-to-establish species are avoided and if proper care (watering, mulching, staking if needed) is administered after planting.
But if the fall planting season is extended into November and December, or if slow-to-establish species are chosen, root growth may be poor and planting failures can occur.
Fall planting (mid-August to mid-October) takes advantage of favorable soil temperatures and moisture conditions that promote the root growth needed to sustain plants through their critical first year in the landscape.
