Answer

When should I plant trees and shrubs?

Autumn to early spring, while dormant, is best, especially bare-root; pot-grown most of the year.

In short

The dormant season, autumn through to early spring, is best for planting trees and shrubs, especially bare-root stock, because the roots establish before the demands of summer. Container-grown plants can go in for most of the year with watering. We plant in the dormant season where we can.
