Your tree will require the same care no matter what time of year you plant.
During the fall your newly planted tree will still require watering. Use a trowel to dig a 1-inch hole and feel the soil around your tree. Early spring, just as the ground thaws, is the best time plant. Fall can be too late, because trees won't be able to survive the freezing temperatures that can damage roots and stop moisture from reaching the tree. Bare root trees: These trees are dug from the ground when they are dormant, stored in some moist medium, then shipped bare of soil. Because these roots are naked, plant these trees in spring when they won't suffer winter injuries.
But more important, plant these trees when you get them; the trick is to order correctly so they'll arrive when they have the best chance to survive. Container trees: These trees have been grown in pots or burlap wrapping, and have roots covered in soil.
They're not as delicate as bare root trees, so timing is not quite as important. Additionally, the fall tends to see significant precipitation, which also helps woody plants become established. A healthy, well-established root system goes a long way towards ensuring vigorous growth in the spring.
Planting in the fall is not without risks, and the chance of plant failure increases the later in the season you wait. Aim to give plants at least six weeks of mild weather for root growth before freezing temperatures arrive. While the exact timing of this is impossible to know, early October is a good deadline. As a general rule, deciduous plants are more suitable for fall planting than evergreens.
Evergreens, like arborvitae or rhododendrons, lose water through their leaves throughout the winter and are especially susceptible to winter injury before their roots are established.
Plants with shallow, fibrous roots are usually the best choices for fall planting because they recover faster than those with large, thick taproots. For this reason, plants like magnolia, tuliptree, oak, and ginkgo are better suited for planting in the spring.

I have lots of aspen on my property — they are easy to transplant almost any time. Now is good. I took my chances. Weather is mild this year in Fall in Calgary. I put bone meal in and mulced well. And am still watering, till it snows here.
I also planed some sea buckthorns, and alder bush at the end of september. They should be fine. Mulch well and keep watered. Next time do not add the bone meal unless you know you have a phosphate deficiency. Hi, Great Article!!! Thanks for this because before planting any tree we should know the right time to grow our tree.

We live in Minnesota and would live to harvest dogwood stocks from the woods and keep them in a 5 gallon pail until spring to start their rooting system, is this doable?
The shrubby dogwoods root quite easily. If you collect now and put them in water they should have roots by spring. Or collect in spring and stick them in the ground with or without a pot.
They should root. Hey Robert. Great article. The nursery near Bismark told me the trees should be fine if I mulch well.
