If the soil isn't frozen, and the tree is dormant, should be OK, in fact, these are the best conditions.

big city name.. arent you in z5 ...

move 4 to 6 weeks BEFORE new growth.. which in my z5 is usually right now.. but this spring we seem to be ahead... but t doesnt matter..

it doesnt matter much.. because no matter the day heat.. nights are still cold.. and the soil is cold.. so roots can settle in.. and start pumping.. before the hear of july and august hit..

in our zone...fall would be the same.. warm days.. cool nights cooling soil ...

the rules really shouldnt matter as to the name of the plant in 99% of cases ...

ken

just wanted to know if this tree is picky about being moved, like some.. thanks

Transplanting should occur at or before the first hint of budswell for spring planting. In fall, transplant after leaves are killed by frost/freeze and protect new roots from freezing. If you don't have a strategy for protecting new roots, wait until spring.
