I was taught to transplant when the trees are dormant, late fall or early spring.
And for large and mature trees, to Root Prune in the early summer before transplanting.
This step involves cutting the roots where you be digging out the root ball.
Root Pruning allows the tree to heal from the major damage to larger roots being cut and to begin new growth within the transferred root ball.
Root prune in June/July, transplant this fall or next spring.
