Tree transplanting
When is a good time to transplant a small ornamental tree. It’s about 15 years old and about 9ft tall. I transplanted a holly bush during mid summer and it seem to be doing quite well in its new spot. But are trees more sensitive to being moved?

Never moved one that big, but I’ve moved trees in late september to early october and also in the spring (after last frost). None of the trees have died, so I think it must have worked. The flowers on the one ornamental I’ve moved (in the fall) didn’t do to well the first year after transplant, but second year they were as abundant as ever. I think it’s fine to do it early to mid fall (gives the roots a chance to get dug in for the winter and the tree isn’t focused on leaf/flower production). Same for Spring, best to do it late enough the cold won’t damage it, but early enough that the tree isn’t going into full bore leaf production… allows the roots to get going first. Just be prepared for a gimpy first year. I would think you will want to get a pretty good sized root ball moved with that one also.
