The best time to transplant trees and shrubs is in the fall or winter time of the year when the roots are not feeding foliage. Roots are still active storing up nutrients for the spring's demand for food. It is always good to dig the rootball appx. 9" for every 1" caliper of trunk. A 2" inch caliper tree would have a rootball of 18". It is best to secure the rootball with a burlap material to hold the soil together. Plant the burlap with plant as this will decompose by spring's end and become food for the plant. No fertilizer for the first year after planting. Water thoroughly to get air pockets out from the root zone.

After it has finished flowering.But you will need to make sure you dig it out properly,and do not damage the tap root. This is the main feeding root. Your tree will probably sulk for a while. Prune back all over, to encourage new growth when in new situation.

I would say late winter or early spring, when the buds begin to swell.
