Definitely now. If it came with a burlap root ball, open the burlap to free the ball but don't break the ball apart...let burlap and all stay in the ground. this should be placed in the ground and covered to about a 2-3 inch depth above the ground and patted down firmly but not packed solidly. Then spread a good mulch around the bottom of it about 2" deep. Don't add any fertilizer at this stage. Water only upon planting unless you have warm days as tree will become frost bitten if watered late in the day or on colder days. Ensure soil that it's planted in is good dark earth, if not add a soil that has nutrients and moisture.
Carefully wrap the shrub in burlap or the white insulated netting specifcally for winter protection if you are located in a "snow" belt. It should root well enough and be safe enough til spring when it will continue its growth.
I have planted cedars like this in Nov and they have done fine...they were transplants from someone's home who no longer wanted them. They are now 3 years old and doing quite well.
Good luck

confident I do additionally agree on the suggestion given I stay in Montana tulips are a spring flower so the bulb may be planted interior the autumn I easily have planted bulbs each and every of how as much as December and that i are turning out to be large flowers. the element that i might desire to point out is that that's easier to plant now because of the fact the floor has no longer hardened-the less warm it starts off to get makes the floor less warm and greater stable to dig. As a Montana grasp gardener you may provide the roots for any bulb,perennial shrub or tree a minimum of two weeks to advance a root gadget until now a "annoying" frost and at the same time as the floor has no longer frosted however the roots structures develops greater effective.

Now. Plant now before the ground freezes. The warmth of the earth is better than the cold of the air on the roots.
Someone else said plant, mulch water.. great advice!

Depends, are they pine-type trees? If so, they are in hibernation at this time anyway, and can be planted. If not, put them in a dry part of you basement and at first thaw, then plant.
