The Nevada Division of Forestry State Tree Nursery in Washoe Valley has a great selection of low cost, conservation plants available for fall planting. Fall is a great time for planting as warm soils encourage root growth before the ground freezes. Fall plantings with an already established root system will be more tolerant of the summer heat. Take advantage of this time by visiting the Washoe Nursery before it closes for the winter on October 10, 2009.
