I would recommend transplanting your trees in early spring to allow more time for the root structure to readapt. Although many gardeners think fall is the best time it depends on where you are located.

right before it starts raining in the fall when the weather is cool. then it gets to start growing its roots all winter. I always plant in the fall.

I agree with the fall planting, be sure it gets plenty of water weekly.

My question first is: are you transplanting one that you are digging up from your own yard or is it one from a nursery in a container? Fall is best if it is from a nursery...that is why nurseries bring in new loads of trees and shrubs in the fall. Spring is best when removing it from the ground to relocate it.

Actually, late winter is best- the tree is dormant, less likely to experience shock. Also, dig the place it will go first. The less time it is out of the ground, the better!

I agree with Gma Kirk, best time to transplant is fall after the leaves fall off. Billie also offers great advice to pay attention to the water even in the fall and winter they will need your attention on a new transplant.
