They were chosen as two of the top five agents in Rockland and Orange Counties, and honored at the organization’s official launch event on November 14.

“We applaud Claudia and Jackie on this honor, especially being part of NAHREP’s inaugural ranking of the region’s leading Latino agents.

The Benefits of Planting Trees and Shrubs

Rockland/Bergen – As the days grow shorter and the air carries a crispness, the fall season presents an opportune time to embark on landscaping endeavors. Planting trees and shrubs during this time offers a myriad of benefits, allowing your green additions to thrive and flourish in the seasons to come. Let’s explore why the autumn months are the perfect time for planting.

Ideal Growing Conditions: The cooler temperatures of fall create a favorable environment for establishing new trees and shrubs. As the soil remains warm from the summer heat, plant roots continue to grow, enabling them to anchor securely before the ground freezes. This extended root development period gives the plants a head start for vigorous growth in the following spring.

Reduced Stress on Plants: Planting during the fall reduces the stress on both plants and gardeners alike. Unlike the scorching heat of summer or the harsh conditions of winter, fall provides a mild climate that minimizes the chances of heat stress and water evaporation. This allows newly planted trees and shrubs to adjust more comfortably, without the pressure of extreme weather conditions.

Ample Moisture Availability: Fall often brings more frequent rainfall, providing a natural irrigation system for your newly planted additions. This abundance of moisture helps in the establishment process and reduces the need for constant watering. Additionally, the lower temperatures result in slower evaporation rates, allowing plants to absorb water effectively.

Less Susceptibility to Pests and Diseases: During the fall, many pests and diseases that typically plague plants during the warmer months begin to decrease in activity. This means that newly planted trees and shrubs face a lower risk of encountering harmful organisms that could impede their growth.

Opportunity for Root Establishment: Trees and shrubs planted in the fall can focus their energy on root establishment rather than expending resources on foliage and flower production. This enables them to develop strong and extensive root systems that provide a sturdy foundation for future growth.
