Now! When they are dormant is best. Dig the hole for the new home and amend as necessary. Then dig up the tree keep the as much of the rootball in tact as much as possible. This way the tree will be out of ground for the least amount of time. It will still shock a bit, but not as bad.

Linda, I can't find any info that names AZ in particular, so look these videos over and see if any one of them hits the spot!

Hi Linda,
My name is Linda and I found another article for you to read. You should cover the root ball with burlap while you're moving it to protect the roots. Wishing you the best.
