in your zone.. about the time the deciduous trees start turning color..

which indicates that trees.. which conifers are.. are mostly dormant above ground...

this gives your tree a month or two to start growing roots before the ground freezes.. and all next spring to grow roots.. before the heat of next summer...

some winter protection will really help the first winter.. as we can not be sure the roots will pump enough water to the needles for winter.. due to the move ...

water deeply .. based on your drainage.. deep into fall ...

depending on the fall.. i have been know to water as late as thanksgiving ... but INSURE the root mass does not freeze into an ice cube ...

with cool days .. and downright cold nights.. not all that much late fall watering is usually required.. but INSURE the soil is not dry late in the season..

and dont drown it with too much love.. especially if you are working in clay ...

if there is a project and it has to be done sooner .... water it deeply for a few days ahead of time ... dig new hole .... take a 2 foot wad soil ... toss into new hole ... water deeply .. and give it some sun protection if its in the blistering sun and its really hot out ... this really should not be a foo foo plant ....

good luck
