The spring is the most popular time of year to plant trees, but fall plantings have a better chance of survival. New
nursery trees always need a good watering for the first 6 months. When you plant in the spring, the natural moisture is good for the first 2-3 months, but then you gotta be diligent about watering through the summer. When you plant in the fall you only have to water for a couple months before the tree goes dormant for the winter. Then it has 4 good months of spring moisture after that. I still try to water through the summer, but it's OK when it's missed.

Oh yes, and there are much better deals on trees in the fall! Usually 50% discounts.
I think people just think about planting in the spring because that's when the garden and the flowers go in. The excitement about new planting just isn't there in the fall.
I love having conversations with myself :)
