When is the best time to transplant young trees to the ground?

Answer 1

My father told me once the best time to plant a tree is in a month ending in "r". As long as threat of frost is not going to damage root system. September and early October is best in the northern United States.

Answer 2

Generally potted trees can be transplanted at any time of year. Barerooted trees do best when planted at the end of winter, or the very beginning of spring. However, I don't like planting potted plants in early winter too much, especially if it's a deciduous tree because I won't know if it's doing o.k. until it sprouts leaves in spring....but that's just a preference.

Answer 3

I agree, just about anytime the ground is workable, but preferably when the tree is dormant, late fall, very early spring, unless it's a case of have-to, to keep it from being destroyed or lost for what-ever reason.
Plant as suggested, using proper methods for conditions at time of planting.
I think you'll get desired results.
Hope this helps, Dave
