What is the best time of year to transplant white pines?

Answer by  annlees (74)

The best time to transplant trees and shrubs is in early fall. This will allow the plants time to develop an adequate root system before the ground gets too cold. Trees and shrubs can also be transplanted in early spring, as soon as the ground warms up but before the weather becomes too hot.

Depending on where you live and whether or not you are under any watering restrictions, either fall or spring are the best times to transplant.

As with most transplants conditions are always best during the fall season. With a little mulch and good watering before winter your pine will look great come spring.

The best time to transplant a white pine is in it's dormant stage, usually between march and may. When transplanting form a rootball and keep this intact as much as possible. Once transplanted, give 5 gallons of water every 2 weeks.

It is believed that the best time to plant them is when the weather is dry. Depending on where you live, the climate may be different. But pick a time where it is dry and not too cold. I may suggest that the fall climates are perfect for transplanting these pines.

The best time of year to transplant them is in the fall, when the weather is not too brisk and severe for these plants to thrive. The best month is September.
