You can plant new plants and trees:
1) when the ground is not frozen.
2) when daytime temperatures are above freezing (32??F) and below 90??F.
3) when extreme weather (blizzard, hail, torrential rain, etc.) is not in the forecast. Be sure to keep plants watered if you're transplanting in warm and/or dry weather.
If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach back out to us. Have a great day!

Customer Reviews
One more thing to know, I've had around eight trees that failed to grow with the best of care - out of some 50-60 Stark tree purchases. But, Stark has always performed with excellence in their replacement.
I also purchased some Stark Tree Pep, and can see the improvement in growth of other new Stark plants I've fed with it every ten days of this growing season. I'm pleased with the Stark Santa Rosa Plum trees and Tree Pep, and expect I may have plums from the dwarf tree next year.
