Jacquelyn,
Yes, both will work. Depending on the winter you get, you may find it easier
to re-plant as soon as the tree is dormant & the ground is still soft. Mulch
well. If you have inches of frozen ground in spring, that may also be reason
to plant in fall. On the other hand, some varieties take longer than others
to go dormant (GoldRush is last in my yard). In that case, spring might be
the better choice.

Glad to see you are grafting. That craft is changing my life, for all the
apples in back are now from grafts I've made. That was not the original goal,
but learning to graft is so economical & opens so many more possibilities.

Dave Liezen

Subject: [NAFEX] transplanting young apple trees

I successfully grafted (first successes ever!) some young apple trees in
spring 2022, and some more in spring 2023. They’ve been growing happily in a
nursery bed. I’d like to move them to permanent locations. May I do that in
fall, after they’re dormant, or should I wait till spring?

Thanks.
