Best Trees and Shrubs to Plant Right Now [November]

Transform Your Las Vegas Landscape in Fall

Have you considered that your landscape could use a bit more of “something” right now? As the weather has cooled, we have been able to spend time outside, enjoying our yard, and taking a good look at our landscape. This is also a good time of year to see how well your landscape has grown throughout the year.

Did you notice any areas that could use some new additions? Good, because fall planting is going strong!

There is no doubt about it, right now is an excellent time to plant a variety of trees and shrubs! That’s right! Many trees and shrubs thrive during this time of the year in Las Vegas and are ready for planting.

Even though the rest of the country is settling into their cold winter, we are still enjoying our beautiful, mild weather. Our climate lets us plant longer in Southern Nevada than in other regions due to:

• the perfect amount of daily sunlight
• mild temperatures day and night
• soil that stays warm thanks to the hot summer

Planting in the fall will give newly planted trees and shrubs the best chance to:

• adapt to their new environment
• efficiently establish a root system
• be ready to spring (no pun intended) to life as soon as winter ends

At Moon Valley Nurseries, we have got you covered with what you need to have a beautiful landscape – no matter what the season might be!

Fall colors are perfect for this time of the year to get you into a festive spirit. The orange/red colors of fall trigger enjoyable memories while adding curb appeal that gets your yard noticed for all the right reasons!

As we get closer to December, some trees and shrubs can add beautiful festive colors that perfectly complement the Holiday season!

Trees and Shrubs to Plant Now

Chinese Pistache

Chinese Pistache trees are perfect for planting right now to give you that fall feeling just in time for all the festivities that are about to start!

These deciduous, waterwise trees offer breathtaking orange/red foliage through the fall and are sure to be the accent point of your landscape! During the summer, the umbrella-shaped canopy creates lots of shade to help keep your home cool, while the thick, dark green foliage provides added privacy.

The Chinese Pistache trees are drought and cold-tolerant and can grow in full sun, so they can easily withstand our desert temperatures. They are also low maintenance throughout the year because they do not produce nuts and keep an overall clean aesthetic.

Magnolia

Magnolias are beautiful trees that can transform your yard into an elegant landscape. The sight of Magnolia trees in full bloom is one of nature’s greatest gifts. When blooming, the flowers have a pleasing, aromatic scent that fills the nearby air with its fragrance.

We have many varieties to choose from, so you will find a magnolia that fits your design perfectly. The Southern Magnolia is one of our most popular varieties. Our customers love their park-style décor, gorgeous, long-lasting blooms, and instant curb appeal. These medium-to-large trees grow upright and can even help add privacy around your property!

Gulf Stream Heavenly Bamboo

Heavenly Bamboo ‘Gulf Stream” shrubs are one of the best compact shrubs you can add to your landscape. They can put on a colorful show all year long, adding refreshed curb appeal each season. Ever-changing foliage goes from scarlet-red in spring to blue-green in the summer.

These are cold hardy shrubs, and they make a colorful addition to any landscape. The ‘Gulf Stream’ variety has improved foliage color in the fall with purple and bronze-tinted leaves that turn to a fiery crimson red in winter. Just in time for the holiday season! We like to use Heavenly Bamboo as an informal hedge along borders and sidewalks or accent shrubs to add color in yards with little color.
