when is the best time to plant small trees in oklahoma?

Question

decorative trees two feet

Answer 1

THE BEST TIME TO TRANSPLANT MOST TREE SPECIES IS IN EARLY SPRING OR FALL. MANY DECIDUOUS PLANTS CAN BE MOVED JUST AFTER LEAF DROP IN THE FALL. THE MOISTURE LEVEL IN THE SOIL IS RELTIVELY HIGH AND THE SOIL IS STILL WARM. ROOTS OF SOME SPECIES HAVE A CHANCE TO GROW AND BEGIN TO ESTABLISH BEFORE THE GROUND FREEZES. SOME PLANTS ARE MORE EASILY TRANSPLANTED IN THE SPRING BEFORE BUDBREAK. TRANSPLANTING DORMANT TREES REDUCES DEMAND ON SOIL MOISTURE BECAUSE TRANSPIRATION IS MINIMAL. EVERGREEN TREES ARE ALSO MORE EASILY TRANSPLANTED WHILE DORMANT. SOMETIMES, VERY LARGE TREES ARE MOVED IN WINTER WHEN THE GTROUND IS FROZEN.

Answer 2

The Almanac says that March 30 and April 1 are the average dates of the last winter's frost in Oklahoma, so, after the last killing frost for your area and as soon as the ground in thawed enough to dig in is probably the best time to plant small trees in Oklahoma.
You should also check your local nursery. You'll notice when they start putting out trees and plants in the spring. If they are stocking them outside, it's because they know the plants will be OK outside and that people are going to want to start planting them then. If the ground is thawed enough to dig a deep enough hole, you may be able to plant small decorative trees from a nursery earlier than the last killing frost. Just ask someone who works at plant nursery and knows about the growing cycles of the plants if it's a good time to plant whatever you want to plant.
IMPORTANT NOTE: A lot of times plant nurseries stock plants and trees only when the planting season begins for that plant. When people buy them all, the nursery doesn't order anymore because they need the room for other plants and items they sell as the season progresses. So when you see the plants you want in stock, buiy them before they're all gone or you may miss out!!!!

Anytime now through the end of February. Much later and they are already growing, and you can damage the leaf buds easily, and cause some permanent damage. . I live here also, reminds me I need to transplant a couple of redbuds that have sprouted in the flower beds! IIt's funny to read some of your answers! We'll have leaves sprouting beginning in February, my weigela bush has some big buds already turnng yellow--probably will be blooming in a couple of weeks. As to waiting for the ground to thaw--the soil temp is generally in the low to mid 40 degree range except in Cimmarron county. Just check the Oklahoma Mesonet for soil temps. (http://www.mesonet.ou.edu/public/current.html) something few other places have to check real time data! Trees need to be in ground while the temp is cool, and then they will be developing naturally instead of being behind or fully leafed out when you plant them--again more likelyhood of failure if the leaves all drop.
