In the north spring is the best time, so the roots have the summer to 
establish themselves before the harshest season, winter.  I hear from 
southerners that fall is best.  The trees take advantage of the mild winter 
to establish prior to the torrid summers.  I suspect that in the northwest 
that fall would be preferable, since summers are generally rainless.  I never 
transplant anything after the early spring unless absolutely necessary.
