Question about planting shrubs and trees.?

i live in san antonio texas. i want to plant some shrubs and specifically sago, aloe, and agave. is it okay to plant now or should i wait til spring. it will be warm here til at least mid december (above 70 degrees)

Question about planting shrubs and trees.?
I am in San Antonio too... Fall is the best time to plant so get to planting!


The Sago palms and Agave will be fine...I would just keep the aloe on the southside of your house or in a pot so you can move it to the warmest location, in case we get cold, icy weather like last year...


All of mine did fine through all of that ice, but I had my aloe in a pot closed off from any wind and underneath a tall bush.


Planting trees now is the BEST time...just make sure to water anything you plant very well, every day for a couple of weeks. It is still scorching out there, as you know!
Reply:Right now would be a good time to plant. Here's some helpful planting instructions: http://www.barcelopalms.com/palmandsagoc...
Reply:If you have a strong enough root system, they should be fine. keep them well atwatered for the first year.
Reply:It will be fine to start planting now. Fall (not quite there yet) is a great time to plant trees, shrubs, or most other perennials.
