When to Buy & Plant Tulip Poplar
Price Seasonality
● Cheap
● Average
● Expensive
Best time to buy: October-November
Most expensive: March
Bare-root fruit trees (January-March) are 30-50% cheaper than potted, but selection sells out fast. Fall clearance on potted trees offers good value.
Pro tip: Order bare-root trees in January for best selection. If buying potted, wait for fall clearance.
