What is the best time to plant trees?

Question

I live in central CA (zone 9), and would like to plant a few trees. When is the best time to plant to ensure the trees do not die?

Answer 1

In their dormant time, Autumn & Winter.

Answer 2

Spring or fall when the temperature isn't as hot. Remember to water every day for the first two weeks.

Answer 3

the best time to plant trees is usually best in late fall or early spring,when it is still dormant.If the tree is a seedling you could plant spring or summer.

Answer 4

In CA you can pretty much plant a tree any time of the year, as long as you keep it watered well during the summer.

But arbor day (April 24) is usually the norm.

Answer 5

Autumn and winter.  They don't look like much is happening in these seasons but they develop roots before the summer heat.
