Woodland growth on a semi terraformed world

I am trying to imagine a scenario in which there is a world that has been terraformed in so far as it has water and oxygen but there is only one area which has been established as a strong foothold for more advanced life.

This is modeled on the known effects of lakes, rivers, mountains, forests and seas and seems fairly reasonable.

Now obviously the soil quality is going to be fairly questionable in places and non existent in others.

What are the hard limits the inhabitants are going to run up against when attempting to plant trees and (for my illustration) other more advanced plant life outside of the natural valley zone?

I figure we are roughly into reclaiming wilderness/desert territory?
