When to plant native trees in NZ?

The best time to plant native trees in New Zealand varies by species and region. Generally, spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are optimal planting seasons. This timing allows young trees to establish roots before the harsher conditions of summer or winter. Coastal regions and warmer areas may offer extended planting seasons, while high-altitude or inland areas may require specific timing based on local climate conditions.
