When to plant in Buckeye
In Buckeye, plant trees and shrubs in fall when you can. October and November give the best start.
The cooler months after that are fine too. Hold off on frost-tender plants until the last freeze has passed, which can be mid February out here.
Summer is the hard season for new trees and shrubs, June through August. Put cactus and agave in during April or May, and palms from May to July.
