In Which Season Do You plant Tree Saplings?

Tweet

In our country, people plant new tree saplings in the rainy season. The soil is wet this time of the year and you don't need to water the new plants . They get their much needed water and food from the soil. By the end of the season they become strong enough to survive the dry winter. However, it would be beneficial if you pour some water at their roots occasionally. Here in the picture is a lemon sapling, which has already grown three feet tall. I must plant it today in our garden. It is a special variety. Its fruit grow much larger than ordinary lemons. Sometimes, people mistake its fruits for grape fruits. Grape fruits ( batabi lebu in Bengali) develop color inside and grow sweet to some extent , whereas lemons remain sour and their juice contain more of citrus. How mother Nature provides fruits needed for the season inspires us to be thankful! When the days are hot and humid a tumbler of lemon juice sherbet is the much loved drink!
