(Des Moines) If you’re considering landscaping, now is not the time to plant trees.

DNR says the widespread drought in Iowa puts stress on the state’s foliage — trees included. The state department recommends Iowans take the summer months to plan for fall planting and reminds homeowners to water trees, young and mature alike, throughout the season.
